Sections on methods and literature reflection have been introduced. Nonetheless the abstract historiography on social movements does not relate to the later sections on creativity in social mobilisations in the city of Milan. I would strongly suggest that the authors reflect on their literature adequately. The use of English language and some typos should be revised (eg. p6 first paragraph) thus the map scales should be introduced in used maps.<\/p>\n The article positions the case of Macao within different theoretical frameworks, including a discussion of urban commons and right to the city movements, and the reuse of abandoned urban spaces. The analysis of the relationship between Macao and other organisations in the neighbourhood could have benefited from a more nuanced discussion of they are connected with the history and development of housing struggles in the city.<\/p>\n The paper made strong improvements respect the previous version. It is indeed much clearer. There are still doubts on the section dedicated to the literature review. The many quoted authors are scattered and it\u2019s not too clear which is the benefit of the review vis \u00e0 vis the Macao case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Signals are an important part of the JoPP peer review process.
