# List of self-managed social centers

Self-managed social centers are community spaces which often feature music venues, infoshops, bicycle workshops and free schools. In French, they are termed espace autogéré and in Italian Centro Sociale Autogestito (CSA), or Centro Sociale Occupato Autogestito (CSOA) if squatted. These projects are concrete examples of Temporary Autonomous Zones.
