The Eurocities Barrier‑free City for All WG meeting in Milan on 26–27 May will focus on how cities can use accessibility data to better plan, prioritise and deliver inclusive public spaces, as well as accessibility measure to cultural spaces and events.
From the host city perspective, Milan will present its work on the collection, standardisation and use of accessibility data, including experiences linked to OpenStreetMap and data interoperability, as well as reflections on the accessibility legacy of the Milan–Cortina Olympic and Paralympic Games. The meeting will also explore access to culture and cultural venues, combining technical discussions, city experiences and site visits to exchange practical approaches that improve accessibility for all in urban environments.
The meeting will also provide an opportunity for WG members to discuss the next steps in delivering Objective 1 (mainstreaming universal design in city administrations) and Objective 2 (standardising, collecting and leveraging accessibility data) of the Barrier‑free City for All work plan.
