In this section of the Civic eState platform you can self-assess your contribution as a stakeholder working with the commons. By taking the “5 minutes self-assessment survey to enhance your potential for urban commons-based initiatives” you will get an immediate automated assessment which will help you better understand what is your current contribution to the commons and what you can do to enhance your current score.
By filling out this first survey you will also start a journey with our team of experts which will help you understand how to finance the commons and to build new partnerships for the commons. Finally, you will also get a chance to appear in our “Commons World Wide Map” if you want to.

If you want to appear on this map, click here to take our “self-assessment survey” and get an immediate self-evaluation assessment. Once this step is done you will be asked to provide us with more detailed information on your commons initiative.
Knowing how commons are performing globally is crucial to understand where we have to improve and where our help is needed. The indicators below show the average score on the 5 variables of all the common-based initiatives uploaded on the platform.
Average Co-Governance score of the uploaded initiatives
Average Enabling State score of the uploaded initiatives
Average Socio Economic Pooling score of the uploaded initiatives
Average Experimentalism score of the uploaded initiatives
Average Tech Justice score of the uploaded initiatives
The design principles carved by the Civic eState project represent a tool to design urban justice and democracy and thereby also measure the implementation of some of the EU Urban Agenda priority themes, such as “Urban poverty”, in relation to which the Agenda states:
“Urban poverty refers to issues related to structural concentration of poverty in deprived neighbourhoods and solutions that need to be designed and applied with integrated approach: 1) Place-based solutions; 2) People-based solutions”;
or the priority theme “Housing” in relation to which the agenda states:
“The focus will be on public affordable housing, state aid rules and general housing policy”;
the priority theme “Climate Adaptation”, in relation to which the Agenda states:
“anticipate the adverse effects of climate change and take appropriate action to prevent or minimise the damage it can cause to Urban Areas. The focus will be on: vulnerability assessments, climate resilience and risk management”.
Finally, it can also support the implementation of the Agenda’s provisions, such as p. 52, where the Ministers agree “to recognise the potential of civil society to co-create innovative solutions to urban challenges, which can contribute to public policy making at all levels of government and strengthen democracy in the EU”;
Public Governance.
Open access.
Sustainability.
The network purpose is to transfer through adaptation the Good Practice of the City of Naples, Lost & Found. This Transfer network aims at guaranteeing the collective enjoyment as well as collective management of urban essential facilities conceived as urban commons. This public-community governance approach will secure fair and open access, participatory decision-making, sustainability and preservation for the benefit of the future generations.
In this section you can familiarise with the 5 design principles of our methodology that are used to assess stakeholder’s overall contribution to the commons. Put your mouse on each of the images to read a short description of each of the principles.
