BARRIER-FREE TRANSPORT: OVERVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND GERMANY

Barrier-free transport is a key element of sustainable, climate-friendly and inclusive cities. This report gives an overview of the main policies, standards and best practices regarding barrier-free transport in Germany and the EU. It’s part of the work on Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP) and the bilateral cooperation between Germany and China on sustainable transport, which are implemented by the sustainable mobility team of GIZ in China. The work on barrier-free transport in China and Germany not only aims to raise awareness for distinct standardisation and norms, diversified mobility needs and common challenges in the provision of barrier-free modes of transport, but also to connect stakeholders from both countries to exchange on the different approaches and experiences e. g. in the design of infrastructure and service.
