The Future of Urban Commons

Jul 21, 2021

On 23 April, I was invited to speak at the “Social Solidarity Economy & the Commons” (SSEC) event; “The Future of Urban Commons” with Jay Tompt from Totnes REconomy practitioners & Jonathan Dawson, head of #RegenerativeEconomics at Schumacher College (which was set up by a true hero of the planet Satish Kumar) and former President of Global Ecovillage Network (GEN), whose vision I am hoping to build upon for the PhD; how to build on the ecovillage methodology to transform our big, messy, contemporary cities. I’m delighted to be invited to contribute with such dreamers & do’ers.

Thanks to Ana Margarida Fernandes Esteves and the ISCTE team for invite.
