From remunicipalisation of basic services to co-management of services and public facilities, or inclusive public procurement to support the social and solidarity economy, there is a vast space for public-community innovation through commoning.
Join us for a peer learning process jointly developed by United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and the Global Platform for the Right to the City (GPR2C) with the aim of fostering exchanges and experience-based discussions around how Local and Regional Governments can engage in and benefit from commoning practices and public-community innovation mechanisms to respond to local challenges, with a particular focus on basic service provision.

Target audience
The peer-learning exercise will be a space for joint exchange, dialogue and reflection linking concrete needs to existing possibilities and wider strategies.
This call is open to all members of local and regional governments’ administrations interested in:
- Exploring the possibilities to respond to the challenges and concerns of local and regional governments in terms of public management and basic service delivery through approaches based on the commons and the right to the city;
- Discussing the possibilities of co-creation and co-management mechanisms/agreements as comprehensive strategies for advancing social equality, environmental sustainability and democratization of decision-making;
- Advancing towards a critical mass of local and regional governments committed with the protection and fostering of the commons, contributing to the implementation of the Pact for the Future and collective advocacy towards global agendas.
