The report, published in February 2025 by Observatory 2030 of the High Council of the Orders of Architects of Spain, emphasises the critical need for universal accessibility in urban and rural areas. It analyses current accessibility conditions and proposes specific actions to enhance accessibility across public spaces, buildings and services. This initiative aims to foster inclusivity for individuals with varying physical, sensory or cognitive abilities, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals to create more equitable communities (The original piece available only in Spanish).
