AccessCity4All Kick-off meeting in Vienna

Dr. Janina Welsch and Dr. Noriko Otsuka participated in a 3-day kick-off meeting of the AccessCity4All project in Vienna hosted by Austrian Academy of Science. The project is one of 23 successful projects under the 15-minute City Transition Pathway of the DUT (Driving Urban Transitions) programme.

AccessCity4All addresses some of the limitations of the 15-minute city concept by considering residents perceived and actualised accessibility in neighbourhoods between city centres and outskirts. It focuses on supporting active mobility for people with different needs and abilities.
The consortium consists of five academic institutions from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Turkey. In addition, six practice partners are involved in project implementation, including the municipality of Münster as the German cooperation partner for the ILS.
ILS leads two WPs, one for developing a methodology for walk-along interviews with vulnerable population groups and another for facilitating discussions on local recommendations and the transferability of policy implications based on project results.
