Abstract
Common goods are commonplace in a myriad of cultures, since antiquity to the Industrial Revolution. Usually, common goods are natural resources that are used and managed by a community. In pre-industrial societies, these goods play a very important role in guaranteeing the survival of common people – those who do not own lands, as they are not members of clergy, nobility or royalty. In England, from the 17th to the 19th century, landowners privatise common lands. This process leaves peasants without many of their livelihood, so they are forced to work for a wage. This lays the foundations to transition from a feudal to a capitalistic economic system. Due to the privatisations, peasants have no choice but to move to cities to find jobs. They take their communal practices with them, which they adapt to the requirements of the industrial society. These practices are later taken in by the public sector, through the New Deal in the United States and the welfare states in Europe, destroying self-organised communal practices. Common goods fall into oblivion during the period of splendour of social democracy. Since the early 1970s, the crisis of welfare states and the new wave of neo-liberal privatisations make the demand of commons relevant again. The concept of new commons becomes broader, and it is redefined in opposition to the new enclosures. Nowadays, the term commons refers to systems of resources that are more complex than the ones from previous periods and it emphasises the act of reclaiming them as a community. In this paper, we want to prove that this evolution of common goods is a dynamic that is still present in several productive landscapes in Catalonia. This shows the urgency for architects and urban planners to start working on this fascinating topic.
