Public-private partnership to open historical city centre to all

The accessibility of historical buildings and city spaces must be improved, not only for people with disabilities, but for everyone.

This is the focus of the joint European initiative, the League of Historical Accessible Cities, under the aegis of the EFC.

To date, nine foundations and six cities from five countries are participating in the project.
