Luxembourg City Wins 2022 Access City Award | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

The European Commission announced on Friday that Luxembourg City has won the 2022 Access City Award for becoming more accessible to persons with disabilities.

A jury of accessibility experts recognised the city for its wide range of innovative solutions and improvements to enhance accessibility for persons with disabilities.

According to the jury, the city has made accessibility a priority. It follows a "Design for All" approach to make access easier for everyone, including persons with disabilities. Low-floor buses equipped with ramps are present across the city as well as visual and audio announcements on buses and at bus stops. The city regularly consults its residents with disabilities, to ensure its action has the desired effect. Moreover, Luxembourg City makes information about political decisions accessible for everyone by making key council meetings available in sign language, on top of spoken language and accessible transcription.
