Opis

This book focuses on the innovative forms of solidarity that develop around the joint appropriation and the envisaged common future of specific places. Drawing on examples from schools, streets, community centers, workplaces, churches, housing projects and sporting projects, it provides an alternative research agenda from the "loss of community"
