However, this focus has led to the decline of social cohesion. Thus, citiesCities must incorporate space outside work and home if they are to promote healthy societal life. Commercial and public space fails to foster togetherness due to market logic forces and the illegality of citizens to maintain neglected spaces. Therefore, this calls for inclusive participation of citizens in managing shared goods and services or urban commonsUrban common. Despite the diversity of commons, only parks and greenery are used to describe those of a recreational nature. This chapter advocates for the use of recreational centresRecreational centresas urban commonsUrban common in communities that experience deterioration, due to their potential to bring about regenerationRegeneration. Using degenerated recreational centresRecreational centresin ZambiaZambia, this research adopts a qualitative approach to investigate the potential and determine the barriers constraining the regenerationRegeneration of these facilities. The chapter found that although recreational centresRecreational centres are valuable, their management is hampered by a lack of institutional support and poor policyPolicy enforcement.
