“Urban commoning” is now becoming popular, as people respond to the increasing privatisation of our cities with commonly owned and managed spaces, housing and services. These examples of urban commons focus on shared resources and responsibility as a way to make our cities more “public” and inclusive.

Wherever you are in the world, share your photos, videos and stories and we’ll feature a selection on Guardian Cities.
