ABSTRACT
In discussing the often fleeting and intangible conditions that produce the latter kinds of urban commons, we need to focus on both the unstable and malleable processes of what David Harvey (2012: 73) has termed commoning. Processes of commoning may take many shapes, such as defending open access or resisting commodification, but here I am interested in questions of how different users co-inhabit and regulate a public space. The resources in question, then, have more to do with what constitutes social capital in a given urban setting. What is it that is being shared or maintained?
