1. Map jam: Mapping the urban commons #MakeCityBerlin #OSCEDays #MapUrbanCommons
2. Program • 11:00-12.30: briefing – warm-up – grouping At Thinkfarm • 12:30- 15:00: scouting and mapping In the streets • 15:00-16:30: sharing– discussing – feedback At Agora Collective
3. Program 11:00 – 12:30: briefing – discussion – Input: Open source circular economy – Input: Urban commons – Input: Mapping – Discussion groups – Briefing on the mapping method
4. Open Source Circular Economy “Every product is designed for multiple cycles of use, and different material or manufacturing cycles are carefully aligned, so that the output of one process always feeds the input of another”  reproducing natural cycles  high complexity “it’s extremely unlikely that individual companies or organizations can construct perfect processes in complete isolation”
5. Open Source Circular Economy “Open source means publishing how things are made, such as a recipe, software code, production data, or design files so that anyone can study, use, and build upon this information.”  enables decentralized and distributed collaboration: e.g. Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap!
6. Commons “a resource shared by a group of people that is subject to social dilemmas” (Hess & Ostrom 2007) - a fishery, a wood… (overuse, enclosure, pollution…) - a street, a park, a garden, trees… - knowledge, intangibles… (commodification…)
7. Commons • Resource - commons • Rules – commoning practice • Community - commoners Commoning: beyond state & market  Self-governance does work!
8. Urban commons • Contested resources: « reclaiming the commons »  Commons, but for whom?
9. Questions?
10. Maps • Easy to read for all, intuitive • Maps are political • Crowdsourced and collaborative maps: OpenStreetMap, many many other maps • http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en /map/mapping-the-urban- commons_43715#15/52.4404/13.396 5
14. Mapping Methodology • Print maps • Document as much as you can: photos, videos, drawings • Tweet it to #MapUrbanCommons • Think of categories! By needs…
15. Speed dating  3 rounds of 2 minutes each!
16. Discussion • What are urban commons concretely? • Do we see resources that could contribute to a circular economy by being managed as commons? • What could we map?
17. To the streets! Meeting at Agora, Mittelweg 50 at 15:00 (sharp) See you! @alabaeye transitionlab.de transformap.co
