While gradually the commons are seen as a necessary narrative for a common future, not much is clear as to what degree a &#8216;commoning&#8217; of the urban can take place. Many, for sure, feel that the current debate stops short of reaching a tangible impact. The first expedition within &#8216;In Search of Common Ground&#8217; has taken us to Zagreb and Pula; two places in which a strong civil movement has sprung up to counter mismanagement of common urban space and speculative land-grab of shared resources. Time for our team of architects, planners, journalists and economists to embark on an &#8216;expedition&#8217; to these cities.<\/p>\n<p>In Zagreb, members of <a href=\"http:\/\/pravonagrad.org\" target=\"_blank\">Right to the City<\/a> and Green Action have explained their years-long strugle that culminated around the privatisation of parts of public space in one of the cities&#8217; central squares, as well as their pioneering of hybrid cultural institutions as a breakthrough model to common cultural spaces and resources, like the center for independent culture and youth &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.upogoni.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pogon<\/a>&#8216;.<\/p>\n<p>Pula, on the other hand, has an abundance of military grounds that needs be get decommissioned. With this, approximately one-third of the cities&#8217; territory needs to get a new destination, for which the voice of citizens has not been asked. Instead, speculative real-estate developers are putting their bets on the development of golf estates &#8211; practically cover-ups for profitable (top-market) housing development schemes on a common resource. Activists and architects of <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/pulskagrupa\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pulska grupa<\/a> have not only introduced us to their opposition to these plans, but also the potentials of commoning large parts of the cities&#8217; grounds and its economy. Something that is reaching broader recognition in Croatian society, as this team has been featuring at the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[15 &#8211; 19 October 2012, Zagreb and Pula] With the post-master program \u201cIn search of Common Ground\u201d we have set up at the Royal Art Institute (KKH, Stockholm) a year-long investigation on the urban commons has started.
