This book questions whether a participative approach may lead to new spatial conditions as well as to new types of architectural practices and investigates the way that the user has been included in the design process. May interest me in how to communally build the off-grid communities, and how other people can volunteer in this process.

Priya Parker makes a case for creating more meaningful gatherings. This may be useful in investigating the city, what works in a city and what, in the given state of a pandemic, doesn't. I will then examine ways of bringing the good things of the city that still work, in the off-grid community living.

Murray Bookchin introduces provocative ideas about the nature of community and what it means to be a fully empowered citizen.What is envisaged is an environmentally oriented politics, a new ecological ethics and a citizenry that will restore the balance between city and country and, ultimately, between humanity and nature. Humanity and nature is a major point of my thesis, therefore this book will help my research.

Deyan Sudjic decodes the underlying forces that shape our cities, such as resources and land, to the ideas that shape conscious elements of design, whether of buildings or of space. He also touches on subjects such as identity and the city.

This book talks about the governance of natural resources used by many individuals in common. A more political analysis on the subject of abusing the natural resources.

The concept of community is rarely defined or carefully examined by those concerned with resource use and management. This book seeks to redress this omission by investigating "community'" in work concerning resource conservation and management.

Peer to peer is a type of social relations in human networks, as well as a technological infrastructure that makes the generalization and scaling up of such relations possible. Thus, peer to peer enables a new mode of production and creates the potential for a transition to a commons-oriented economy.

This Palgrave Pivot employs the concept of open source agriculture as a new social movement, which not only advocates a specific agenda but also creates technological products under a unique technology development model. The book brings together social movement and technology theory to examine it through two in-depth case studies of open source agricultural communities.

Green growth theory asserts that continued economic expansion is compatible with our planet’s ecology, as technological change and substitution will allow us to absolutely decouple GDP growth from resource use and carbon emissions. This article concludes that green growth is not a realistic solution, and that other sustainable alternative strategies must be found.

This book analyses different scenarios of the distant future, such as communities, such an communities.

The coronavirus outbreak has come in the aftermath of other concerning and disastrous events within the past nine months alone. From the ravaging rainforest fires in the Amazon to the wildfires of Australia, every month the world has been hitting a new milestone in the trajectory of the climate crisis. Connections may still not be proven between this outbreak – or others yet to come – and the environmental degradation and disruption of ecological systems, but scientific claims indicate they are surely not unrelated .

Possibilities for managing without growth in high income economies are simulated with a new, comprehensive systems model with many novel features. Three 50 year scenarios are compared: a base case, an ambitious greenhouse gas reduction scenario, and a sustainable prosperity scenario with broader environmental objectives, reduced income inequality, shorter working hours and the cessation of economic growth. The book closes with a review of policies to make this scenario a reality.

As habitat and biodiversity loss increase globally, the coronavirus outbreak may be just the beginning of mass pandemics.
