I'm involved in the Bristol Energy Cooperative, a community owned energy coop (www.bristolenergy.coop). I'm also doing an EngD (an applied industrial PhD) on community management of resources. This is sponsored by an engineering consultancy. I've just started, so am currently exploring widely. I'm interested in commons management in complex urban systems, how user and community management institutions can be enabled by the technical design of infrastructure, the role of high tech communications and data in management of commons, the role of corporations and external advice/consultancy. Interested in taking a critical perspective, but also finding solutions that can be put into practice..
