COMMON_ACCESS
COMMONing ACCESSibility in urban outskirts and beyond
General Description
The overall objective of COMMON_ACCESS is to explore the concept of ‘Commoning accessibility’ and investigate its operationalisation in the urban periphery and suburban contexts, working closely with local planning authorities, businesses, and communities.
Objectives
- Develop and apply methodologies to map and explore (the variety of) accessibility conditions for transport and land use in urban outskirts and beyond. O1 will generate insights on location-specific constraints and opportunities for the 15mC in the outskirts and map conditions for exploring the potential of the 15mC in the urban outskirts and beyond.
- Develop and apply methodologies to map accessibility interdependencies (that is, the social, relational dimension of accessibility), and identify existing CA experiments in urban outskirts and beyond. O2 will generate insights into the social organisation of mobility/logistic options (i.e., by who, for whom, and how provides/accesses), focusing on the role of communities in sharing services, and optimising resources and abilities within urban peripheries.
- Understand opportunities for activating and designing CA (transition) experiments. O3 will generate insights on guidance for designing and enabling CA experiments in urban outskirts and beyond in the testbeds. O3 will provide methods and tools to enhance the potential of communities to implement CA experiments (including financial and governance aspects)
- Develop and apply methodologies for estimating the potential impacts of CA (transition) experiments. O4 will generate insights on impacts of CA experiments (including shared mobility platforms and micro-mobility solutions) on travel behaviour and access to opportunities in the urban outskirts and beyond.
- Identifying policy enablers and constraints to commoning accessibility. O5 will generate insights into the key barriers and enablers for up-scaling successful street arrangements, district conditions, and alternative mobility options, including potential strategies for achieving this.
