The annual Access City Award recognises European cities for their efforts to make themselves more accessible for persons with disabilities and the elderly. This brochure celebrates the achievements of the 2019 winners, runner-ups, and special mentions – Breda (the Netherlands), Evreux (France), Gdynia (Poland), Vigo (Spain), Kaposvár (Hungary). The Award highlights the concrete steps each city has taken to improve the accessibility of their cities. These steps include accessible metros and trams, navigation apps, ‘eco zones’ with limited traffic and awareness events. As part of the European Year of Cultural Heritage, Viborg (Denmark) and Monteverde (Italy) were awarded as special winners for making their cultural heritage accessible to all.
