Funding the Cooperative City explores experiments in community-led urban development in European cities. In a journey from Lisbon, Madrid and Rome, via Liverpool, Rotterdam and Berlin, through Warsaw, Bratislava and Budapest, Funding the Cooperative City highlights different strategies of fundraising and investment; self-organisation, resistance and cooperation with institutions; and explores the ways citizen initiatives, cooperatives, non-profit companies, community land trusts, crowdfunding platforms, ethical banks and anti-speculation foundations step out of the regular dynamisms of real estate development and arrange new mechanisms to access, purchase, renovate or construct buildings for communities.

Would you like to hold a book presentation event in your city and have a public discussion about the economy of civic spaces with some of the protagonists of this emerging scene? For further informaton please contact info@eutropian.org and visit the full list of events.

In September the book will be presented at the following events:

BAIRRO INTENDENTE FESTIVAL IN LISBON
In late July we were invited by Largo Residencias to participate at a public discussion in the frame of the Intendente Festival's discussion series Agora, looking into the consequences of touristification, gentrification and displacement, and explore strategies to strengthen local communities in the face of these transformations.

City making is a set of negotiated processes that unfold in networks of actors through confrontations, conflicts, alliances and cooperations. In this magazine, we explore these processes through the testimonies of their protagonists, telling stories of urban transformation from different viewpoints and looking into the manners in which these actors contribute to shaping the culture, governance, environment, communities and economies of cities: the way they design, implement and readjust their actions and the ways they complement or counter the impact of one another.

ACTORS OF URBAN CHANGE
Deadline: 22nd September 2017
The program aims to achieve sustainable and participatory urban development through cultural activities and cross-sector collaboration.

“When he enters the territory of which Eutropia is the capital, the traveler sees not one city but many, of equal size and not unlike one another, scattered over a vast, rolling plateau.”
