Over the past decades a variety of social actors throughout the world - institutions, enterprises, non-profit organizations, and, most of all, networks of collaborative people - have moved beyond mainstream models of thinking and doing, inventing new ways of living and producing. They are viable and sustainable solutions to complex problems such as: social cohesion, urban regeneration, accessibility to healthy food, water and sustainable energy management.
