Cities for Everyone: Co-Creating Scenarios for Accessible, Safe and Inclusive Futures. Lessons from the SAFE Project in Five European Cities

Abstract

In 2025, cities are more accessible than ever in the European Union. However, more work and effort are needed to improve accessibility in our towns, regions, countries to make our societies more inclusive and safer for everyone. The SAFE project (2022-2025) aimed to help five communities in the EU to find improvement ideas and solutions to becoming more accessible. The project would like to thank the EU and Erasmus+ Slovenia for the support received in the three-year process of developing together with stakeholders and students our five communities.

This publication introduces the scenario work carried out to develop accessibility in the cities of the project. We hope it sparks new ideas in the readers to carry out their endeavours to develop accessibility in their communities. Everyone can play a part in these processes. SAFE shows how we can collaborate with stakeholders and generate solutions that can make our lives better and places safer and more inclusive for us all.
