Cooperative City Magazine is an online publication dedicated to exploring and showcasing collaborative urban development processes across Europe. Established by Eutropian, an organization based in Vienna, the magazine focuses on innovative and inclusive practices that transform cities through efforts involving local communities, governments, and civic initiatives. It highlights the experiences, challenges, and successes of diverse actors working to create more resilient and equitable urban environments.
The magazine serves as a platform for sharing inspiring stories, promising practices, and case studies from various European cities. Its content spans articles, videos, podcasts, and webinars, all of which underscore the interconnected roles of private, public, and grassroots stakeholders in urban development. Through its work, the magazine fosters dialogue among urban planners, policymakers, and community activists, bridging gaps between these groups to promote effective and sustainable city-making.
During critical periods, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Cooperative City Magazine adapted to address pressing issues by launching initiatives like "Cooperative City in Quarantine," which spotlighted community-driven solutions in challenging times. Over the years, it has evolved into a leading voice on urban collaboration, documenting and disseminating lessons to enhance civic participation, improve public spaces, and support sustainable urban ecosystems.
With its pan-European outlook, Cooperative City Magazine invites readers to engage with the stories of those actively shaping their urban environments, offering replicable models and tools to foster cooperation, equity, and inclusivity in cities across the continent.
