The database is a fundamental document in the implementation of the gE.CO project and therefore it has been carefully constructed by all the partners.
The database groups all the experiences mapped in the project, which are divided into “communities of citizens” (namely those experiences of self-organization carried out by formal and informal groups) and public initiatives (i.e. those policies implemented by municipalities or other public institutions to promote and foster the establishment of urban commons).
The database contains, for each experience, essential information needed to define an identity record: name, city, thematic area of their intervention, year of foundation/introduction of the policy, short description, website.
The database collects more than 200 generative commons around Europe: in particular, 16 European countries are covered, and 100 cities.
