The rural-urban fringe
“a zone of intermingling land uses”
“a place of change and adjustment”
“a complex landscape”
“heightened competition...and inflated cost of land”

The nature of commons
• Nature of the resource
• Nature of the governance system
• Property rights
![Page 12: Commons in the Rural Urban Fringe](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880be201a28abba3b8b5295/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
‘Commons’ currently existing• Common land & TVGs• ‘Artificial bits’ of common space and left-overs• Community woodlands (Cydcoed; Red Rose,
Mersey, Great Western Community Forest)• The landscape and greenbelts• Biodiversity – protected areas• Access
– Formal (RoW; HLS Permissive access; waterways;)– Informal (footpaths; ‘abandoned’ land)

Opportunities for new commons...
![Page 17: Commons in the Rural Urban Fringe](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880be201a28abba3b8b5295/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
New commons: for what and for whom...?
Recreation
Landscape
CulturalHeritage
Food production
Natural flood
management
Biodiversity
Carbon sequestration
Waste assimilation
Energy generation

Potential obstacles to new commons• Development potential• Liability fears• Designations• Access• Vandalism/deterioration• Governance
– Limitations of the 2006 Commons Act
– Collective action
![Page 19: Commons in the Rural Urban Fringe](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022202/5880be201a28abba3b8b5295/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Where to focus attention...• Different forms and scales of commons
– Rural-urban fringe as a commons– City-region as a commons– Scope for ‘time limited’ commons
• Institutional arrangements– Communities of users– Powers to craft rules– Guarantees for landowners– Compensation (a transfer of resources?)
• Developing foundation for collective action • A role for local authorities?
