This book examines the transformative power of grassroots social
innovations within dynamic urban landscapes. From addressing access to
healthy food to navigating regulatory challenges, urban citizens are
taking charge of their environments through collective action. This
ethnographic exploration explores the everyday workings of three
grassroots initiatives, highlighting the practices driving social
change. Readers will discover practical models for collective
organizing within social innovation communities, offering insights for
both activists and policymakers eager to effect change in urban life.
By emphasizing collaboration as a cornerstone of social innovation,
this book illuminates how deep engagement fosters reflectivity,
empathy, and sustainability within communities. Drawing on
multidimensional collaboration models, readers gain practical tools
for creating lasting social impact. Moreover, the book places these
insights within a broader European context and references Elinor
Ostrom's theory of the common good, appealing to readers worldwide
interested in community-driven solutions. With qualitative research
conducted in Poland, this book offers a rich tapestry of insights into
the global phenomenon of grassroots social innovation, encouraging
reflection and action among urban communities worldwide.
