Cooperative City in Quarantine #14 : Planning the new cooperative city after COVID-19
– Building on existing efforts towards social economy
“Cooperative City has accompanied us throughout the quarantine and, as life is slowly returning to some form of normality, it’s now time to think of what is ahead of us. This Friday will be our last quarantine episode and based on the exchange that has taken place so far, we will use this opportunity to identify some guidelines on Planning post-COVID-19 cooperative cities. We want to build upon all the efforts that have been developed up to now and we want our efforts to be geared towards social economy. During the episode the “Planning post-COVID-19 cooperative cities Manifesto” will be presented.”
