Discover my contributions to the GreenPlace Network, an URBACT initiative aimed at “recycling” unused urban spaces through participatory and sustainable design. Highlights include leading an interactive workshop on inclusive public space design, featuring hands-on exercises, discussions, and a compelling video showcasing the perspective of a blind person navigating public spaces. Dive into how we address accessibility challenges and empower cities to create spaces that are truly welcoming to as many people as possible.

URBACT – Beyond The Urban

As an ad hoc expert for the Beyond the Urban Network with URBACT, I focused on embedding inclusion and accessibility into mobility solutions for urban and rural areas. Through a tailored workshop that I have facilitated, insightful discussions, and a compelling article, I explored how inclusive design can bridge accessibility gaps and promote sustainable, integrated mobility. Highlights include engaging participants with personal stories, practical analyses, and guest testimonies from individuals with disabilities, sparking impactful conversations on creating accessible transport systems for all.
