“…We join others in arguing for further theoretical expansion to include the application of self-governing arrangements to certain excludable resources, such as housing (Hess, 2008;Larsen & Hansen, 2015, Nonini, 2017Aernouts & Ryckewaert, 2019). Housing is subtractable, like the original common pool resources, but it is also excludable: it is possible to exclude individuals from access to housing.…”

“…While self-governing arrangements for common pool resources such as forests, pastures and water (Ostrom, 1990) have been the traditional focus of study; commons scholars have subsequently expanded to consider other types of resources including public goods, like knowledge, culture and the city (Hess & Ostrom, 2007;Borch & Kornberger, 2015). Our focus on the commoning of private goods like housing, builds on an emerging body of research on the 'housing commons' (Larsen & Hansen, 2015, Nonini, 2017Aernouts & Ryckewaert, 2019), and responds to calls for an expansion of research on the governance of the commons to other types of resources (Stern et al, 2002, pp. 469).…”

Community Control in the Housing Commons: A Conceptual Typology

We advance theorizing on the governance of the commons through a configurative comparative analysis (CCA) of community control in the housing commons. We focus our analysis on community land trusts (CLTs), which are increasingly recognised as a potential governance mechanism for collective access to housing provision for lowincome communities. Through systematic comparative analysis of CLTs in the US and UK, we extend the existing evidence base and develop a conceptual typology of community control in the housing commons. The typology suggests that whilst some social purposes for CLTs may align with notions of the commons -enrichment of community politics, conservation of community life, or creation of participatory governance -other CLTs focus on housing provision as a means of making a broader contribution to the social economy, or as an asset-lock to enable wider provision for affordable housing. By understanding this differentiation, we challenge the assumption that design principles or governance mechanisms are sufficient for or inherently offer a singly clear route to community control, and recognise that community control is achieved through different pathways informed by the multiple configurations of dynamics between different aspects of governance, as usefully illuminated by CCA. Our approach demonstrates the value to scholarship and activism on the commons of systematic comparative analysis in order to interrogate the expansion of the commons not only in practice but in spirit.

“…Кожен член кооперативу має один голос, незалежно від кількості або вартості акцій. Місцева влада має право на придбання 10% квартир у житловобудівельних кооперативах [3]. У Польщі, попри те, що житлові кооперативи вже не є основними постачальниками житла, близько 11 мільйонів громадян мешкають у кооперативних будинках.…”

“…In urban studies, commons theory has been applied to examine the politics of community gardens (Eizenberg, 2012), cooperatively owned housing (Huron, 2014(Huron, , 2015, community land trusts (Aernouts & Ryckewaert, 2018;Bunce, 2016;Midheme & Moulaert, 2013;Thompson, 2015), cooperatively owned businesses (Cornwell, 2012;DeFilippis, 2004), squatter settlements (Neuwirth, 2005), food sharing (Morrow, 2019), and even private yards and the margins of sidewalks (Blomley, 2005;Crawford, 1995;Lang, 2014). According to Blomley (2008), urban commons, like all forms of property (Blomley, 2005), are not found: they are made (see also Williams, 2018a).…”

Households and community organizations are involved in the creation, use, care, and management of urban spaces, including through food practices such as planting, foraging, harvesting, weeding and pruning at the ambiguous edges of public and private property. Drawing on case studies in Boston, Massachusetts, we examine how commons are articulated through these practices, particularly in relation to multiple dimensions of property rights. Specifically, we ask how food practices can open urban spaces to negotiations around access, responsibility, care, and ownership, especially when (property) ownership is not an end-goal, but a circumstance shaping other practices. Using interviews and participant observation of individuals and organizations involved in urban food provisioning, we explore how households and community organizations are interrupting fixed notions of property ownership, by practicing urban commons. These practices and negotiations demonstrate ongoing shifts in the meanings of urban space with flexible understandings of property and ownership.
