<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">One of the welfare state’s key jurisdictions was to tend to housing and public space in benevolent ways. However, under the neoliberal dogma, commodification and gentrification threaten both the right to housing and
the right to the city. In recent years, cities have become increasingly militarized and surveyed, resembling battlegrounds where freedom and democracy are under attack. At the same time, recent economic, political, and social crises have activated many counter-forces
of resistance and creative alternatives for the grassroots production of food, health services, housing, networking infrastructures, and more.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The role of technology has been contradictory as well. On the one hand, the Internet has enabled some of the most remarkable peer production success stories at a global scale, such as Wikipedia and Free and Open Source
Software, among many others. On the other hand, it has empowered huge corporations like Facebook and Google to fully observe and manipulate our everyday activities, and oppressive governments to censor and surveil their citizens.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">At the city scale, technology offers opportunities for self-organization, like wireless community networks and numerous bottom-up techno-social initiatives, but also animates the top-down narrative of the ?smart city?
and the commodification of the ?sharing economy" as a service provided by globally active platforms such as Airbnb and Uber. In this situation, peer production in space emerges as a vital bottom-up practice reclaiming citizen participation, and inventing new
forms of community.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">In this context, some core challenges arise:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">* If we choose not to rely on global players to provide peer production support at a local scale, how could different areas of peer production in the city, digital and physical, interact and support each other?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="m_-3324274979670671854MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">This special issue of JoPP aims to explore a wide variety of alternative and innovative peer practices, such as urban agriculture, food sustainability, the solidarity economy, right to the city movements, cooperative
housing, community networks, P2P urbanism tactics, co-design practices and more, that are directly reflected in the production of urban space. We are particularly interested in novel combinations of theory, methodologies, and practices that can contribute
to peer production in the city and enable new synergies between projects and communities.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
