The Municipal Commons: Urban governance and the idea of community<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After nearly a decade of austerity-led neglect, many local urban communities are struggling to cope with the erosion of important services that help to bring them together. Amid all the gloom, however, there are a few encouraging signs on the horizon. Local authorities like Preston and Newham have engaged with the concept of community wealth building and its aim to produce inclusive and seemingly democratic local economies [1]. Similarly, while under economic pressure to grow student numbers and become global players, universities are also being asked to consider how their research can engage with, and impact on, the places in which they are located [2]. Certainly, in contrast to the metrics intended to gauge the global reach of academic work, these institutions need to further consider their connection to the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seminar in the CCSR series, In the City<\/em>, sets out to explore how various ideas of urban community might relate to, or can become realized in, initiatives like community wealth building<\/em> and the truly civic university<\/em>. It also asks what kind of role so-called anchor institutions, like the university, might play in revitalizing post-austerity local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
