Commoning Accessibility (CA) practices are initiatives where people produce and/or share services as a community to improve access to essential activities and services
Commoning accessibility is about far more than just mobility. Commoning accessibility is an innovative concept that applies commoning practices to accessibility to ultimately empower citizens and communities to reach essential services and destinations such as healthcare facilities, schools, grocery stores and public transit.

- 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

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.
