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.
What are commoning accessibility practices ?
This mean that communities beyond urban peripheries could benefit from 15mC accessibility principles by sharing social and spatial resources to improve access to
- Healthcare
- Education
- Employment
- Grocery stores
- Leisure facilities.
Discover how commoning practices are revolutionising accessibility options in city outskirts through shared practices.
