Urban Co-Production of Social Rights and Public Welfare

In context of multiple crises and increasing inequality, new alliances emerge that stand for the defense and expansion of social rights. Civil society initiatives and progressive state actors engage in a constructive tension in order to negotiate, rethink and experiment more just understandings of collective welfare.
The research KoopWohl analyzes such cooperation processes within three policy fields –housing, immigration, and environmental justice – in Germany. With the aim to learn from each other and to exchange experiences, actors from Germany engaged in such cooperations are visiting Barcelona and invite you to discuss coproduction practices.
