Abstract
Most cities face common challenges, mainly due to globalization effects, such as high population density, cultural diversity, socio-spatial inequality, and climate change. Many attempts are carried on daily by activists and citizens from all over the world to build a more equal, sustainable and livable society, highlighting how the environmental crisis is deeply intertwined with the social inequality dimension at a global level. People are reclaiming streets as places of shared interest, even in different urban contexts, aiming to address common problems and satisfy similar unmet needs. The result is that commoning practices are occurring in the streets as a set of spatial practices producing forms of social relations based on sharing, cooperation and solidarity (Stavrides, 2015).We seek to investigate how different practices of commoning occurring in the streets can contribute to societal well-being and foster an urban environment suitable for future adaptation solutions at the community level. Our work focuses on how the collective actions taking place in the streetscapes attempt to fight the uneven, strengthen democracy, and raise awareness about the social-ecological crisis.
