Cities for All Helsinki 2012

The Cities For All international expert conference provides an opportunity for the distribution and dissemination of examples related to the topic of accessible design. The aim of the conference is to demonstrate how the "Design for All" methodology can offer concrete solutions to global challenges, such as ageing populations and sustainable development. The conference creates a comprehensive Design for All experience, as well as provides latest information, inspiration and enthusiasm in the fields of freedom from barriers and accessibility. The event itself forms a pilot example of a conference executed with easy access for all.
