Abstract EN
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.
