The Legal Toolkit

The Legal Toolkit helps communities & public administrations with the implementation & engagement of urban commons.

The law is traditionally considered as one of the crucial issues when it comes to urban commons.

The management of the commons is in fact, in the end, an institutional issue, since it requires to submit to a model of governance one or more goods and to organize, around this latter, the management of a community and its relationship with public actors and other public and private stakeholders.

Also, the legal issues related to the commons are often very complex. Indeed, the commons tend to undermine the logics at the core of the architecture of both private and public law, thus calling for new lenses able to see and use the law in a transformative and empowering way.

What is the Legal Toolkit about?

One of the main goals of the legal toolkit is to understand the main legal issues and questions faced by the experiences of urban commons in Europe from the perspectives of both: communities and public administrations.

Therefore, the legal toolkit is composed by two different parts: the gE.CO Legal Q&A and the gE.CO Legal brief.
