ABSTRACT
This chapter consider both the spatiality of care and how care as a practice might involve working with different concepts of space. Caring is often typified by dyadic relations and thus consists of chains of people. There are different kinds and concepts of commons, but in its most traditional form, commons are frequently understood as shared spaces or resources that are neither public nor private. Commons are a form of care that historically existed within a group or community of people, as did practices of mutual aid. The objects are held by the time bank and individuals may borrow them, but a condition of their use is that they are not for private use; they may only be used for community projects. To start thinking about what kinds of connections can exist both within and between localities, a common proposition is that small initiatives need to be networked together.
