Abstract
In this chapter we explore the transition of societal organisation from heavy reliance on the state towards self-organisation by citizens in communities. We explore how this transition manifests itself by analysing two cases of self-organising communities in the Netherlands. The case studies of the ADM squatter community in Amsterdam and Golf Residence in Dronten show how these communities of self-organising citizens created their own residential arrangements and took the initiative in developing a unique spatial environment. By looking closely at these two forms of self-organising communities, we can enhance our knowledge about transitions and public management.
