Responsive Cities - Urbanism in the Experience Age

Responsive Cities - Urbanism in the Experience Age | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

The Responsive Cities Symposium / Urbanism in the Experience Age is one of the main activities carried out under the Knowledge Alliance for Advanced Urbanism - KAAU (www.ka-au.net) EU co-funded project. Based on the assumption that the increasing availability of data creates new opportunities not only for monitoring and management, but also for changing the way we describe, understand and design cities, KAAU is seeking to promote the innovative education and training that emerging technologies require, developing courses, symposiums and an educational and training platform.

Commons Collaborative Economies: Policies, Technologies and City for the People - Policy & FLOSS for the Commons

We invite you to participate in the forthcoming international workshop “Commons Collaborative Economies: Policies, Technologies and City for the People” in Barcelona, March 11-13. This event is organized by the P2Pvalue project in collaboration with the Barcelona municipality.

This interdisciplinary workshop will follow up the previous workshop FLOSS4P2P, this time expanding the focus to policy. It will provide an opportunity for policy people to interact with the technical teams of Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) platforms for commons-based peer production communities, and to get a deep dive into how to promote the commons approach to collaborative economy from institutions. We have three aims:

1) Highlight the relevance of the commons-oriented model within the collaborative economy

2) Build policy recommendations for the European Commission concerning the regulation of the collaborative economy

3) Provide technical guidelines to build software platforms for collaborative communities.

The workshop will include panels on relevant topics, unconference dynamic spaces, a hackathon, and working groups to draft the mentioned policy and technical documents.

We welcome proposals for:

- Lightning talks (2m): summarise your idea & receive feedback from the audience

- Leading Discussion (20-30m): gather those interested in your project/tech/policy/research, introduce it to the group, and discuss

- Participatory sessions (30m-1h): engage the interdisciplinary attendees in co-creating, playing or creative dynamic sessions

Please email: info@dimmons.net with your proposals, deadline Feb 29.

You may find additional info at http://procomuns.net/en/

Barcelona: The commons have come to Town

Barcelona: The commons have come to Town | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Spain’s recent municipal and regional elections have transformed the entire political scene. New citizen coalitions with roots in community groups allied with small progressive political parties won unexpected victories in several large cities. This, plus the fact that two new national political parties – Podemos and Ciudadanos – burst decisively onto the political stage in the regional elections, has blocked the bipartisan (PP-PSOE) system created with the 1975 democratic transition. Victorious in 7 major cities throughout the country, including the 3 largest ones (Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia), these coalitions open the door to a different sort of transition, questioning the dominant political culture and mentality, and in most cases putting in place minority governments, thus obliging various parties to negotiate joint platforms. It is interesting to note that Podemos, the young political party that made a surprise showing in the 2014 European elections and made strong gains on the regional level this year, decided not to present its own candidates in the municipal elections, but rather participated in or – more frequently – supported the new citizen coalitions in various cities.

Bringing the Platform Co-op "Rebel Cities" Together: An Interview with Trebor Scholz

Bringing the Platform Co-op "Rebel Cities" Together: An Interview with Trebor Scholz | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Trebor Scholz, Associate Professor for Culture & Media at the New School and author of the book Uber-Worked and Underpaid: How Workers Are Disrupting the Digital Economy (Polity, 2016). He is currently touring European cities to talk about platform cooperativism.  Platform cooperativism, as he puts it, is "a way of joining the peer-to-peer and co-op movements with online labor markets while insisting on communal ownership and democratic governance." I talked to him about this young movement, its rise, and the steps ahead.

Barcelona just declared war on Airbnb

Barcelona just declared war on Airbnb | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it
Barcelona’s new activist mayor, Ada Colau, is long accustomed to making powerful enemies. Before being elected to City Hall, in May’s local elections, she was best known for founding and running the Platform for Mortgage Victims (PAH), an advocacy group that gives legal advice to Spanish homeowners facing foreclosure. It has led the public battle against a legal superstructure that is perniciously rigged in favor of the banks. And thus it has drawn the ire of the Spanish government.
