Transforming Urban Peripheries with Commoning Accessibility practices
Discover how COMMON_ACCESS is revolutionizing accessibility options in city outskirts and beyond through community shared practices.
partnering for access to services and facilities for all urban communities
COMMON_ACCESS is leading the way in Commoning Accessibility practices
'Commoning Accessibility (CA)' practices can empower communities to share physical and digital accessibility services needed to foster a more inclusive and sustainable urban environment. This is the core belief of the COMMON_ACCESS research project.
Commoning Accessibility Practices are centred around the social dimension of mobility and accessibility and might include a combination of 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 to increase local accessibility; citizen-based community datasets to enhance digital connectivity and enable the use of shared mobility options and of community services and amenities.
What we do AT 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
Mapping CA location-specific conditions
Mapping and exploring (the variety of) spatial and functional accessibility conditions for CA in urban outskirts and beyond. Insights on location-specific Constraints and opportunities, and opportunities for the 15mC in the outskirts, conditions for implementing CA practices in the urban outskirts and beyond
Understanding CA practices
Understanding existing CA practices by mapping the social dimension of accessibility in urban outskirts and beyond. Insights into the social organisation of CA practices (i.e., by who, for whom, and how accessibility is produced as commoning practice), focusing on the role of communities in sharing services and optimising resources and capabilities within urban outskirts and beyond
Implementing CA Experiments
Develpment of guidance for designing and enabling new CA experiments in urban outskirts and beyond in selected testbeds. Methods and tools to enhance the potential of communities to implement CA experiments (including financial and governance aspects).
Assessing the impacts of CA Experiments
Estimating the potential impacts of CA (transition) experiments. Insights on the impacts of CA experiments on travel behaviour and access to opportunities in the urban outskirts and beyond. Broader social-distributional impacts associated with the social and spatial transformations that CA practices and experiments elicit
Shaping policy enablers for CA
Insights into which policy conditions and priorities impact commoning accessibility practices in urban outskirts and beyond and how; identification of combinations of top-down policy frameworks and bottom-up experiments that enable CA practices to thrive.
Communication and Dissemination
Reaching out target groups and develop a European network of key Commoning Accessibility scholars and stakeholders
COMMON_ACCESS is funded by DUT Driving Urban Transition
