Put your city on the European map as a proactive supporter of accessibility for persons with disabilities.

The Access City Award sets out to showcase and reward cities with over 50,000 inhabitants which take exemplary initiatives to improve accessibility in the urban environment.

In the context of a steadily ageing population living in European cities and its correlation with disabilities, accessibility has important social and economic benefits.
