The study of pedestrian accessibility focused on people's experiences and perceptions, through walk-along interviews, complements the more quantitative approaches. As part of the AccessCity4All project, the challenges faced by families with children and the elderly in Lisbon were identified. Problems such as degraded sidewalks and unsafe intersections contrast with the appreciation of green and blue spaces along the routes. In general, while families with children prioritize safety in their journeys, the elderly tend to look for shorter routes. This analysis reinforces the importance of incorporating the daily experience of residents when defining mobility policies that are more inclusive and tailored to the local context.
The AccessCity4All project explores the concept of the “15 Minute City” to evaluate urban accessibility in five European cities: Lisbon, Vienna, Münster, Groningen and Ankara. Using open data, we analyzed access to essential services (health, education, commerce, leisure and sport) in three modes of travel: on foot, by public transport and by car.
The “Tuesday Talks” are a series of monthly conferences promoted by theMOV network, which aims to create a space for debate and sharing around urban mobility and its multiple challenges and dimensions.
