Dear Green Commons: How to share a city
Our city is a people’s city. Dear Green Commons is four public gatherings in June & August 2026 from the Centre for Human Ecology, exploring what it looks and feels like when a city is truly shared.
Clyde Commons will kick off the programme through a performance lab and immersive walk. We’ll take a special look at the ever-present river that’s the heart of the city: exploring the natural and cultural heritage of the Clyde catchment, what’s happening on our riverside, and what’s changing across the waterscape. The event will also see the re-launch of the Centre for Human Ecology’s Clydeside reference library and community learning space, in the Pearce Institute, Govan.

Flourish will share stories exploring the city’s diverse intercultural heritage as a living commons through food cultures, art and economic activity that sustain wealth and power within local communities.

Our Dear Green Commons is a forum foregrounding local experiences of inequality, resilience, and community organising, situating Glasgow within wider global movements for climate justice, housing justice, and economic democracy. Participants will collectively articulate visions of the commons as infrastructures of care and mutual support.

A Commons Ceilidh is a gathering sharing songs, stories, spoken word, honouring community voices and weaving together insights from the previous sessions. A warm, welcoming space for anyone who loves and wants to celebrate this city. Come curious about Glasgow, its river, its people, its food, its stories, and what a city genuinely thriving in its commons feels like.
