Read about the European Accessible Cities Award
 

Introduction

European Cities have a major role to play in delivering good access both to their own citizens with disabilities and to tourists of all ages and abilities.

Many European Cities are working to build their reputations as accessible, liveable cities that offer a warm welcome to all visitors.

Here, at the Accessible Cities Home Page, ENAT will publish the profiles of those cities that wish to showcase their achievements and good practices.

These are Europe's Accessible Cities, setting new benchmarks in their continual efforts to improve accessibility.

European Accessible Cities Award

The European Award for Accessible Cities was launched in May 2010 by the European Commission and has now run for two editions.

The third edition of the competition opened on 22 May and entries may be submitted until 5th September 2012.

See the following page for details: http://www.accessibletourism.org/?i=enat.en.news.1341

The award is given to the city that:

• has demonstrably improved accessibility in fundamental aspects of city living:
• the built environment and public spaces;
• transport and related infrastructure;
• information and communication, including Information and Communication Technologies (ICT);
• public facilities and services.
• is committed to continued improvements in accessibility in a sustainable way;
• can act as a role model and encourage the adoption of best practices in all other European cities.

As such, the competition covers accessibility in the everyday lives of city residents, as well as for visitors tourists.

To see last year's winners, go to the webpage of the Access City 2012 Award ceremony, with photo, videos and downloads.

ENAT applauds the Commission's  European Access City Award and encourages ENAT Members and cities everywhere to take an active part in the competition.

Create your own Accessible City profile page

Tourism Information Offices and Municipal authorities are invited to create their own profile page describing their good practices in accessibility. The target audience of the profile page can include residents, visitors, disability organisations, businesses, educators, researchers and other public authorities.

Profile pages can include text, links to municipal and tourist websites and a rich variety of content such as photos, Google maps, videos, file downloads, etc.

A city authority can create its own Accessible City profile page using a simple template and the easy-to use Content Management System. For more complex pages, authors can send material by email to the web editor.

For further details or if you have any questions, please contact the ENAT Secretariat.

Before you start you may like to view the Demo Page at the bottom of the following list of cities.
