The European Concept For Accessibility 2003

4 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANAGING THE ACCESSIBILITY

The Example of Municipalities

4.1 the City for All Plan

In the previous chapter we described a series of recommendations for adapting environments in ways that take into account the diversity of the population. However, for such adaptations to become a reality it is essential to have a method of intervention that brings together the different parties involved in the process (for example, politicians, experts, representatives of associations). It is in this sense that we believe a City for All Plan to be a useful tool in specifying areas of action and in defining a system of management, as well as for co-ordinating, analysing and evaluating the opinions of all those involved: i.e. politicians, experts, citizens and employees. In what follows, we describe a potential plan consisting of seven stages which, except for the diagnosis, unfold more or less in parallel.

4.1.1 Diagnosis

4.1.2 Political Planning

4.1.3 Involvement of Citizens

4.1.4 Technical Planning

4.1.5 Management

4.1.6 Contribution of Citizens

4.1.7 Information to Citizens
