For us, public space is at the same time built and social space. In our projects we advocate structural and social conditions that allow persons of all ages to use and participate in public space without barriers. Above all, public space is a space of movement. Thus, we strongly support the self-determined, health promoting and active mobility of all different target groups.
The Handbook addresses institutions, organisations and companies responsible for or having an impact in the designing and shaping of public spaces and providing services to older citizens.
These guidelines aim to raise awareness for the importance of mobility in older age. The guidelines were commissioned by the Austrian Ministry of Social Affairs and show how contribute to mobility-friendly environments. (German only)
