Publication d’un plan de transition vers les Communs pour la ville de Gand

La ville de Gand en Belgique a lancé un programme de réflexion autour de la mise en place d’un plan de transition vers les Communs. Le travail d’investigation est conduit avec la P2P Foundation qui publie un document sur son wiki, comportant un diagnostic et des propositions.

Extrait :

The general logic of our proposals is to put forward realistic but important institutional innovations that can lead to further progress and expansion of the urban commons in Ghent, so that it can successfully achieve its ecological and social goals. We propose public-social or public-partnership based processes and protocols to streamline cooperation between the city and the commoners in every field of human provisioning.

[…]

Commons initiatives can forward their proposals and need for support to a City Lab, which prepares a ‘Commons Accord’ between the city and the commons initiative, modeled after the Bologna Regulation for the Care and Regeneration of the Urban Commons. Based on this contract, the city sets-up specific support alliances which combine the commoners and civil society organisations, the city itself, and the generative private sector, in order to organize support flows.

[…]

The model comes from the existing practice around the food transition, which is far from perfect and has its problems, but nevertheless has in our opinion the core institutional logic that can lead to more successful outcomes.
