This model of sustainable design consists of a walk for women, the objective of which is to identify common land, currently underutilised, in the public domain for the common good, perhaps as community gardening projects. Other aspects of the commons (e.g. water, raw materials) may also be identified.
The walk involves participation, collaboration and information gathering, to observe how a group of women interact and ‘perform’ on the walk.

This model aims to activate women in our social spaces, potentially creating change in the places where they live and work. If space is for commons of social relations, and walking and gardening are social acts and bodily movement, do these elements work well together in a single purpose?
Can this model of ‘walking women designers’ be widely used to empower women to take ownership and responsibility for areas of public space, to create a support network and shine a light on the importance of land ownership and the commons in general?
