--- _id: '9235' abstract: - lang: eng text: The article examines the existing infrastructure of open common spaces within two New Belgrade mass housing blocks (Blocks 23 and 70a) through a typo-morphological analysis. These spaces between the buildings, although the most neglected, underused, and deteriorated components of mass housing neighbourhoods, are at the same time crucial to the quality, vitality and integrated governance of these neighbourhoods. They represent the primary tangible commons in cities and neighbourhoods. The question of urban commons is increasingly present in scientific literature, urban and architectural discourse. Nevertheless, approaches exploring the spatiality of the urban commons are scarce, leading to insufficient understanding of the spatial aspect and potentials of the already existing commons. Therefore, this study includes (1) identification, typological decoding and classification of the common spaces, focusing on the case of New Belgrade blocks, followed by (2) analysis of the spatial patterns and integration of the identified spaces within the blocks. The study confirms the complexity and diverse typology of the common spaces. It finds that the in-between, common spaces contribute to higher integration of different segments of the blocks. The open common spaces have an essential role in humanisation of the blocks, and thus the quality of life in the blocks as integrated neighbourhoods. The findings indicate that the spatial setting of the open common spaces in New Belgrade blocks allows for (re)emergence of collective practices, leading to inclusive and integrated rehabilitation of the neighbourhoods. article_type: original author: - first_name: Anica full_name: Dragutinovic, Anica id: '68875' last_name: Dragutinovic orcid: 0000-0002-6962-5223 - first_name: Wido full_name: Quist, Wido last_name: Quist - first_name: Uta full_name: Pottgiesser, Uta id: '27166' last_name: Pottgiesser orcid: 0000-0002-8594-3168 citation: ama: 'Dragutinovic A, Quist W, Pottgiesser U.

This research identifies the concepts of self-management and social ownership of housing in the post-World War II period in Yugoslavia as an important legacy of Yugoslav urban planning and housing policies. Although they were subsequently neglected, these concepts can contribute to contemporary global discussions about housing affordability and the role of community in ensuring spatial and social equality. New Belgrade mass housing blocks—the main site for testing the new dwelling concepts, in terms of both policies and modernist design—are the object of this research. The article is mainly a theoretical analysis of the issues of common interest and engagement, common good, and common spaces which played a decisive role in its design. The study applies interpretative and correlational research methods in re-theorizing these concepts and their underlying narratives. It traces how the perspectives on the collective practices and spaces evolved over time, revealing a correlation between changed social practices and the spatial deterioration of the New Belgrade mass housing blocks. The study highlights the importance of both collective practices and common spaces for addressing housing issues, emphasizing their instrumentality, and potentiality for rearticulating the dialogue between public and private, engaging citizens in interactive and inclusive decision-making and co-creation of the urban reality. author: - first_name: Anica full_name: Dragutinovic, Anica id: '68875' last_name: Dragutinovic orcid: 0000-0002-6962-5223 - first_name: Uta full_name: Pottgiesser, Uta id: '27166' last_name: Pottgiesser orcid: 0000-0002-8594-3168 - first_name: Wido full_name: Quist, Wido last_name: Quist citation: ama: 'Dragutinovic A, Pottgiesser U, Quist W.

The method combines regenerative design and co-commitment that are recognized as decisive factors in mass housing revitalisation. The spatial focus of the research is on New Belgrade Blocks (Serbia) that are part of the larger phenomenon of the post-socialist urban heritage. The neighbourhoods that are part of this larger framework are having common attributes and facing similar issues nowadays. Comprehending and managing change in these neighbourhoods requires community-driven actions that would include all relevant stakeholders in the process through co-commitment. The actions, that would be based on regenerative and biophilic design, would ensure both maintenance of green spaces of the neighbourhoods, as well as integration of new nature-based solutions. The approach is enhancing the role of community and highlighting the important values of common spaces in ensuring vitality of mass housing and co-creating healthy and liveable environments. The paper is contributing to contemporary discussions on resilient cities and communities and promoting participatory and integrated urban renewal. author: - first_name: Anica full_name: Dragutinovic, Anica id: '68875' last_name: Dragutinovic orcid: 0000-0002-6962-5223 - first_name: Uta full_name: Pottgiesser, Uta id: '27166' last_name: Pottgiesser orcid: 0000-0002-8594-3168 citation: ama: 'Dragutinovic A, Pottgiesser U.
