How to Build Collectively? From Common-pool Resources, Actors, Access & Processes

Abstract

Can the professions of architecture, urban design, and planning, committed to growth and development logics, serve as a common ground for and with everyone? In this essay, the authors emphasize the necessity to orchestrate collective responses in urban planning and design, advocating for the use of the concept of “coproduction” while analyzing its challenges within the context of the Global South.
