Experiences of struggle for housing, ignited by the lack of social and affordable housing and foreclosure evictions as well as practices of establishing shared and self-managed housing areas, unfold in a world of harsh inequalities. In such a context, it becomes crucially important to think again about the need to define common urban worlds "from below', to trace contemporary practices of urban commoning through which people re-define what is to be shared and how, in against and beyond the dominant. Connecting to a rich literature on the importance of commons and of practices of commoning for the creation of emancipated societies, the authors discuss whether housing struggles and co-habitation experiences may contribute in crucial ways to the development of a commoning culture, and explore a variety of urban contexts in search for concrete examples that illustrate the potentialities of urban commoning.
