About common_access
Commoning accessibility practices encapsulates all aspects of commons management, democratic decision making and community participation so local issues are addressed with local and contextually appropriate solutions. These practices can support the creation of more inclusive and sustainable built environments, enhancing the social dimensions of mobility and accessibility for communities in locations where essential services can be hard to access, such as the peripheries of cities.
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.
Towns and villages that have applied commoning practices have benefited by organising a range of services, platforms, and policy guidance:
- Community-shared (e-) bikes
- Community micro-mobility Hubs
- Community-car clubs
- Community parcel lockers
- Community car clubs
- Mobile community services
- Community-led temporary and tactical measures
- Citizen-based community datasets for digital connectivity and access
Discover existing practives via the COMMON_ACCESS Atlas.
Discover existing commoning accessibility practices from across Europe
Communities in Europe and worldwide have already adopted commoning accessibility practices to develop local solutions addressing accessibility challenges.
The COMMON_ACCESS Atlas is an online database designed to explore different types of commoning accessibility practice, understand their impact, and to inspire new experiments and practice.
You can use this database to learn more about existing practice and how they can help you or, contribute by adding a practice that from your locality.
Understand what services do you value in your ideal neighbourhood and make your unique digital flower.
It can be difficult, unpleasant, or even dangerous for some of us to travel to where we need to go. If you want to travel sustainably, it can present even more of a challenge. It can feel like municipalities, planners and engineers repeat past mistakes and don't respond needs of residents.
The flowers are a planning tool that invites participants to imagine how they would like to get around. Putting people's needs and desires is foundational to accessibility planning to make cities more livable, sustainable, and fair.
