  text: The concepts of collective management of housing and urban spaces are being
    revisited within the contemporary discussions about community-driven approaches
    and practices and, in particular, related to the revitalization of residential
    neighbourhoods. 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.
