A barrier-free space is being created in Ukraine: how cities are changing

In various cities of Ukraine, work is ongoing to create accessible environments for all residents. Medical facilities are being updated, inclusive spaces are being built, and pedestrian routes are being regulated. Veterans and ambassadors of the program are actively participating in testing new barrier-free routes to raise awareness among city dwellers about accessibility issues.

In Vinnytsia, the modernization of the Family Medicine Center on Mahistratska Street has begun. The Center has already started to equip accessible entrances, replacing stairs with two-level handrails and installing tactile tiles. The updates are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Creation of inclusive spaces in parks and cities

In Ternopil, work has begun on creating an inclusive playground in the 'Zdorovya' park. Safe coverings, inclusive play elements, and sensory zones are planned to be installed. In Rivne and Slavutych, work is also being carried out to create barrier-free routes and spaces for all residents.

Training activities on barrier-free topics for citizens

The Dnipropetrovsk region is conducting educational-informational sessions for citizens on barrier-free topics. Participants are explained the rules for using inclusive infrastructure, the basic principles of accessibility, and how to assist people with disabilities. The program is being implemented by the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Military Administration.

Active measures to develop accessible environments for all residents, regardless of their needs and limitations, are taking place in various cities of Ukraine. The modernization of medical facilities, the creation of inclusive spaces, and the conduct of training sessions help improve the quality of life for citizens and provide equal opportunities for all.
