  • Care, public services and the importance of integrated local public ownership

    • Remunicipalisation
    cover image

    After decades of austerity and market-led reforms, local public services in many countries are under strain; fragmented, under-resourced, and too often driven by profit rather than public need. In the face of mounting evidence of the failures of privatisation, a growing number of cities and towns are reclaiming control through remunicipalisation. This briefing explores how bringing services back into public hands can help build more integrated, democratic, and caring local economies, and why this shift is essential for creating more resilient and equitable communities.
