  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.
