I can’t believe I’m the first to read this book on Goodreads (or at least its English translation). I really enjoyed the first part—it’s a well-researched exploration of the city, culture, and community, offering a clear explanation of how these structures have evolved over time and how we got to where we are today.

The second part, which focuses on commons and trust, didn’t resonate as much with me. While I understand that it’s about meaning-making, the concepts feel somewhat vague at this point. Maybe I need to check out Gielen’s Commonism: A New Aesthetics of the Real to delve deeper into these ideas.
