FROM PLATFORMS TO COMMONS

Part III. Global Landscape Mapping

The concepts outlined in the previous sections are already influencing how new digital systems are being built. Around the world, a wide range of actors are experimenting with infrastructures that distribute control, strengthen public oversight or reduce dependency on large commercial platforms. These projects differ in purpose and maturity, but together they show how the digital landscape is beginning to shift.

Part III focuses on the most relevant types of emerging infrastructure. It highlights representative examples, explains the basic logic behind each mechanism and outlines why these models matter for civil society.
