Abstract

Providing the largest number of persons the possibility to actively move and contribute to their own well-being also depends on the spatial accessibility to urban environment. From this perspective, the present article addresses two main questions: To what extent can the physical arrangement of public spaces play a key role in enabling individuals' capabilities to lead a healthy life, and how can accessibility affect urban regeneration. Accessibility is here understood as a fundamental right of citizenship and as a prompt to set the reflection on sensorial/cognitive/motor disabilities within a broader frame, covering many fields of urban agendas: Social justice and health, sustainable mobility and Universal Design, and nature-based solutions. COVID-19 distancing measures have further emphasized the importance of these issues, stressing the need to make urban spaces walkable and usable for the most vulnerable citizens. The research Proactive City, developed at the University of Trieste (IT), offers input into this debate. The outcomes of design workshops in the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia, as well as of collaboration activities with the Regional Administration, provide technical and methodological recommendations to rethink "accessibility for all", not as synonymous with special solutions addressed to persons with disabilities but as an overall approach to envisaging any urban transformation and policy. © 2021 Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia.

空间可达性是构建包容、主动的城市的驱动力
为最大数量的人提供积极移动的可能性并为他们自己的福祉做出贡献也取决于城市环境的空间可达性。从这个角度来看,本文解决了两个主要问题:公共空间的物理安排在多大程度上能够在使个人能够过上健康生活方面发挥关键作用,以及可达性如何影响城市更新。无障碍在这里被理解为公民的一项基本权利,并促使人们在更广泛的框架内反思感官/认知/运动障碍,涵盖城市议程的许多领域:社会正义和健康、可持续流动和通用设计,以及基于自然的解决方案。COVID-19隔离措施进一步强调了这些问题的重要性,强调需要使城市空间适合最弱势公民步行和使用。的里雅斯特大学(University of Trieste, IT)开展的前瞻性城市研究为这场辩论提供了意见。意大利弗留利威尼斯朱利亚地区设计研讨会的成果,以及与地区管理局的合作活动,为重新思考“人人享有无障碍”提供了技术和方法上的建议,而不是将其作为针对残疾人的特殊解决方案的代名词,而是作为设想任何城市转型和政策的总体方法。©2021斯洛文尼亚共和国城市规划研究所。版权所有。
