Descripción del proyecto
Capacitación de las comunidades urbanas para superar las diferencias democráticas
A medida que las ciudades de la Unión Europea (UE) adoptan acuerdos de coproducción, es importante que los ciudadanos tengan más voz en los servicios y recursos urbanos esenciales. Aunque algunas ciudades han realizado esfuerzos pioneros, es necesario establecer una comprensión global de los retos y las mejores prácticas. Sin embargo, la ejecución efectiva de estos acuerdos a menudo se enfrenta a obstáculos, lo que dificulta el potencial de una verdadera autogestión comunitaria y el bienestar colectivo urbano. El equipo del proyecto COMMONCITY, que cuenta con el apoyo de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, analizará los modelos políticos, los retos y los efectos democratizadores de la Asamblea Constituyente de los Comunes en Barcelona, Bolonia y Gante. Los resultados allanarán el camino para una toma de decisiones informada y una mayor participación ciudadana en toda la UE.
Objetivo
A new tendency is on the rise in EU urban policy-making: adopting Co-production Arrangements inspired by the paradigm of the Commons (CAC). Some pioneering cases stand out, such as the Urban Commons Regulation in Bologna (2014), the Commons Transition Plan in Ghent (2017) and the Citizen Assets Programme in Barcelona (2017). These cities have been joined by others that either have adopted similar arrangements or are currently considering adopting them. By and large, these arrangements aim to redistribute decision-making power to citizens over services and resources that are considered as essential for urban collective wellbeing (e.g. public buildings and spaces, energy and water utilities) by fostering community self-management. Preliminary and applied research on these arrangements has been carried out, mostly based on single case study analyses. However, scientific, in-depth and comparative knowledge on CAC is still scarce. By adopting an urban epistemology to the traditional state-centred political science field, COMMONCITY will produce key, useful and timely knowledge on CAC. It will comparatively analyse the i) policy models, ii) political, social and administrative challenges, iii) impact on urban democracy of recently adopted CAC in the three EU pioneering cities: Barcelona, Bologna and Ghent. By adopting a co-production-oriented approach to data collection and analysis that will foster citizen science, it will provide unique empirical data on the varieties, effective functioning and democratising effect of these arrangements. The results of COMMONCITY will contribute to the scientific debate in the broad urban study field and, specifically, in urban democracy, urban governance, urban policy-making and urban participation. It will also provide policy recommendations to various levels of government, in order to foster the adoption of CAC and improve the functioning and democratic impact of existing and under-adoption ones.
