The objective of this portal is to provide an online reference resource on accessibility and people with disabilities in Barcelona. Accessibility in the streets and to transport, but also to education, participation, employment, training, culture, sport, leisure… Building the accessible city means eliminating physical, communicational and mental barriers to improve quality of life for all. In Barcelona, people with disabilities and their associations are key players in meeting this challenge, a challenge that must be reviewed and renewed constantly. Accessibility is a goal from which all can benefit, and it should, therefore, form part of the very lifestyle of our city.
