Overview page
P2P Urbanism as a global movement for improving urban environments
P2P Urbanism presented at the International Commons Conference
Many separate efforts taking places over the past several years came together around 2010 to define P2P Urbanism. This network of thoughts, and the principal ideas of its participants, were presented at the Berlin Commons Conference sponsored by the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Berlin, 1 November 2010. This was an event of major importance, as it helped to firmly anchor P2P Urbanism to the Commons movement arguing for and implementing a shared responsibility in both the design and use of the urban environment.
The book: "P2P Urbanism" by Nikos Salingaros and friends
Due to the interest generated by the presentation, some of the key writings are put together into a book draft: "P2P Urbanism" by Nikos Salingaros and friends (http://zeta.math.utsa.edu/~yxk833/P2PURBANISM.pdf), which will hopefully be published at some point soon. It is now available for free download. The individual articles are all on the web. Of course, this book represents but one portion of the broad range of thought behind P2P Urbanism, to be developed in future essays by other authors.
Contents:
1. A Definition of P2P Peer-to-Peer Urbanism.

P2P Urbanism World Atlas
Agatino Rizzo has undertaken to map existing projects that exemplify the many diverse aspects of P2P Urbanism into the P2P-Urbanism World Atlas. This map also provides a central point for future reference, as other groups discover that they have not been working alone. Anyone can add to this map, and the ultimate purpose is to link all P2P Urbanism groups into an interactive network. To subscribe to the discussion group, please visit the P2P-Urbanism World Atlas webpage.
Design Tools
The design component of P2P Urbanism that builds cities and restructures dysfunctional urban regions relies upon a recently-developed toolbox of methods. These are scattered among the work of different authors. Chapter 4 of the above book "Socially-Orbanized Housing" gives a detailed description of some techniques. Those readers who don't already know the "Pattern Language" of Christopher Alexander are referred to an (unauthorized!) online summary (http://vasarhelyi.eu/books/A_pattern_language_book/apl.htm). Further techniques are found in the books of Nikos Salingaros "Principles of Urban Structure" (http://zeta.math.utsa.edu/~yxk833/urbanstructure.html) -- most of whose chapters can be found on the web -- and "Twelve Lectures on Architecture: Algorithmic Sustainable Design" (http://www.bod.de/index.php?id=296&objk_id=354912), whose chapters in early version are free on the web (http://zeta.math.utsa.edu/~yxk833/algorithmic.html).
Work in Progress
Even before the International Commons Conference in Berlin, many P2P Urbanism ideas and applications have been circulating in draft form. Hopefully, they can be catalogued here as soon as they are published.
