The question of common good is fundamental to urban living, however understanding of the term varies depending on local contexts and conditions, particularly complex in countries with experience of communism. In cities east of the former Iron Curtain the once ideologically imposed principle of common good became gradually devalued throughout the 20th century due to the lack of citizen agency, only to reappear as a response to the ills of neoliberal capitalism around the 2010s. The book reveals how the idea of urban common good has been reconstructed and practiced in European cities after socialism. It documents the paradigm shift from city as a communal infrastructure to city as a commodity, which lately has been challenged by the approach to city as a commons. These transformations have been traced and analysed within several urban themes: housing, public transport, green infrastructure, public space, urban regeneration, and spatial justice. A special focus is on the changes in the public discourse in Poland and the perspectives of key urban stakeholders in three case-study cities of Gdańsk, Kraków and Łódź. The findings point to the need for drawing from best practices of the socialist legacy, with its celebration of the common. At the same time, they call for learning from the mistakes of the recent past, in which the opportunity for citizen empowerment has been unseized. The book is intended for researchers, academics, and postgraduates, as well as practitioners and anyone interested in rediscovering the inherent potential of urban commonality. It will appeal to those working in human geography, spatial planning, and other areas of urban studies"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Cities and towns |zEurope, Eastern. 650 0 Cities and towns |zEurope, Central. 650 0 Community development, Urban |zEurope, Eastern. 650 0 Community development, Urban |zEurope, Central. 650 0 Common good. 650 0 Post-communism |zEurope, Eastern. 650 0 Post-communism |zEurope, Central. 650 7 Cities and towns. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00861748 650 7 Common good. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00869784 650 7 Community development, Urban. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00870882 650 7 Post-communism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01072730 651 7 Central Europe. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01244544 651 7 Eastern Europe. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01245079 776 08 |iOnline version:Grabkowska, Maja. |tPost-socialist cities and the urban common good |bFirst. |dNew York, NY : Routledge, 2023 |z9780367545741 |w(DLC) 2022025510 830 0 Routledge contemporary perspectives on urban growth, innovation, and change 903 25 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h630882 914 (OCoLC)on1344546623 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20230407 |eprocessed |f1344546623 980 17951314 |i160.00 |j131.20 |n40031631508 982 |cf |q32101119682027
