Learning from disabled people about qualities and obstacles in historic cities. The case of Liège.

The initiative promotes inclusivity in historic European city centres, which are often not accessible to people with disabilities. It emphasizes the challenges faced by individuals with different abilities, highlighting their exclusion from the cultural and historical richness of these areas. By focusing on Liège as a case study, the initiative aims to improve understanding of disabled individuals’ interactions with historic environments. Collaborating with ‘user/experts’ who offer unique perspectives on navigating such spaces, the goal is to identify and overcome barriers to inclusivity, enriching the historic urban experience for everyone.
