Publication: Local Community – A Place or a Community?

The publication entitled “Local Community – A Place or a Community?” / “Mesna zajednica - mesto ili zajednica?” was published within the framework of the project “City Spaces – Spaces for Citizens”.

Local communities represent a specific from of local self-governance, which saw its great development during the period of self-governing socialism and later its great fall following the collapse of a state system and the break-up of the very state that “patented” this model. Despite all the difficulties and ambiguities surrounding this concept, local communities still represents a good basis for upgrading and improving the level of openness, accessibility and citizen participation in decision-making processes, improving, in the end, the local government efficiency. The Collective Ministarstvo prostora (Ministry of Space), partner in the project “City Spaces – Spaces for Citizens”, published and promoted the publication “Local Community – A Place or a Community?” that you can find more information about in the text below.
