Researching community-led practices for the 15mc in urban peripheries
About common_access


The project understands Commoning Accessibility practices and explore their potential to contribute to achieving the 15minC in urban peripheries . Working closely with local planning authorities, communities and businesses, the project brings a multidisciplinary perspective to unpack the characteristics of commoning accessibility practices.
Informed by the 15minutecity (15mC) concept, COMMON_ACCESS researches how commoning practices can address accessibility challenges in urban-peripheries and beyond.
The 15mC is modelled on utilising compact urban form supported by networks of sustainable built and digital infrastructure, making it intrinsically challenging to achieve the social and climate neutral oriented outcomes in less-dense and underserved urban peripheries.
Focussing on the social dimension of 'accessibility' in conjunction with 'commoning' as a community-led resource and management practice, COMMON_ACCESS studies 'commoning accessibility practices' as a community-led solution to accessing essential services.
