“…What is gratifying to see is that the experiences of participants in Colombes are being mirrored in the new R‐Urban sites. Clarisse, who coordinates the activities in the R‐Urban Gennevilliers AgroCité, has observed that: “So far, after one year, there are 252 members, with crazy energy, totally different profiles, to create something that will be a place of learning, transmission around ecology, recycling, and to start living differently, to take care of everything…and so, they [have] changed their way of being a citizen in the city” (Petrescu, Petcou, & Lowe, 2019).…”

“…The subject of our analysis is the first implementation of R‐Urban, a bottom‐up strategy based on networks of urban commons and collective hubs supporting civic resilience practices that was initiated by the activist architecture practice Atelier d'Architecture Autogérée (aaa) (Atelier d'Architecture Autogérée & PublicWorks, 2015; Petcou & Petrescu, 2018; Petrescu, Petcou, & Baibarac, 2016). This first R‐Urban project (2009–16) was established on the suburban outskirts of Paris in Colombes, a multicultural municipality where residents have incomes below the national average and where social housing towers are interspersed with single family dwellings.…”

In this article, we present a method for valuing the multidimensional aspects of urban commons. This method draws from and contributes to a broader conception of social or community returns on investment, using the case and data of a vibrant project, strategy, and model of ecological resilience, R‐Urban, on the outskirts of Paris. R‐Urban is based on networks of urban commons and collective hubs supporting civic resilience practices. We use data from 2015, the year before one of the hubs was evicted from its site by a municipal administration that could not see the value of an “urban farm” compared to a parking lot. We combine estimates of the direct revenues generated for a host of activities that took place in R‐Urban, including an urban farm, community recycling centre, a greenhouse, community kitchen, compost school, café, a teaching space, and a mini‐market. We then estimate the market value of volunteer labour put into running the sites, in addition to the value of training and education conducted through formal and informal channels, and the new jobs and earnings that were generated due to R‐Urban activity. Finally, we estimate the monetary value of the savings made by an environmentally conscious design that focused on water recycling, soil and biodiversity improvement, and social and health benefits, breaking them down by savings to the organization, participants and households involved in R‐Urban itself, as well as savings to the state and the planet. Although our article is built on specific quantities from a concrete project, the method has wide applicability to urban commons of many types seeking to demonstrate the worth and value of all their many facets and activities.

“…Also, historical civilizations throughout the ages were able to preserve their period with its history and content of civilization, its immortal architectural and historical legacy [1]. In one form or another, the sustainability of society can be summed up in "relative multi-centuries preservation" [2,3].…”

The eco-system approach is key to achieving a sustainable built environment. This approach Focuses on Making Cities Resilient with adapting (UR). Urban Resilience approach can play a role to achieve a sustainable built environment. The purpose of this article is examining barriers to implementing the UR concept towards sustainable development at the local level in Jordan. The focus group were studied; the Jordanian planners, architectural offices and stakeholders through a methodology based on semi-structured interviews and online questioner developed based on literature reviews data. The data analysis following a combined quantitative and qualitative approach. This research proposes that a viable sustainable ecosystem regulated with the resilience concept should be the framework adopted by environmentalists, decision-makers, and planners to facilitate and improve their sustainable future directions. From the results obtained were two types of challenges facing urban resilience, theoretically and practically with 12 challenge categories and 29 main barriers facing UR in Jordan were extracted. In addition to clarifying 7 principles that increase the effectiveness of UR.
