The proposed design introduces active travel and expose the local natural variety, while improving connectivity and generating a healthy city.

The main themes in this project are the concept behind active travel and its importance to local communities and nature as a crucial factor for citizen's mental health. Both aspects in collaboration with each other result in better connectivity, support of the small businesses and the creation of new post-pandemic society.

Urban commons has the aim to achieve ultimate balance between public relations and citizen involvement and enhance the city development through interventions made to the publicly accessible areas between structures in the urban world. Changing the urban realm can not only improve the urban environment, but also have an impact of the life of citizens. Connecting people and creating space where they can communicate and interact with each other in post-pandemic times is crucial for the significance of the Unit's aim.

The proposed design has the aim to introduce active travel to local people and show the natural variety in the UK that they do not notice. The two main aspects are active travel and nature so the architectural way to combine them is to design a Biodiversity Educational Centre at the base nodes of a bridge that link the whole Spike Island. It will be dedicated to cyclists and pedestrians with length of 1.6km and three nodes where users can use as entrance/ exit points. Each node will incorporate commoning practices that will improve the connectivity between citizens.

The Centre will educate people on the environment that surround people and most importantly will accommodate a place for partners and companies to discuss and debate on future projects that can benefit both nature and the human.

Working on a concept that should be focused on urban commons and should integrate commoning practices, connectivity, nature and active travel challenged the aspects of architecture. The project offers an experience with careful acknowledgement of the movement from one point to the other, noticing the surrounding environment, improvement of connectedness and supporting the small business.

Incorporating nature gave more importance to the pedestrian pathway structure in the way that people now have a place to meet, discuss, communicate and debate. Local partners have the aim to encourage interactions between the human and simultaneously reduce air pollution.
