La accesibilidad no es un estado. Es un proceso.
Un espacio que hoy se evalúa y se considera adecuado puede tener limitaciones mañana. No necesariamente porque algo se haya hecho mal o porque algo se haya roto, sino porque el espacio ha cambiado, como todos los espacios cambian con el tiempo.
El envejecimiento que los espacios aún no han visto
El envejecimiento de la población es una de las transformaciones más predecibles de nuestro tiempo, y una de las menos integradas en el diseño y la gestión de espacios. Según las proyecciones anunciadas en 2024 en el Foro Económico Mundial, para 2050 las personas de 50 años o más representarán el 30% de la fuerza laboral mundial. En Brasil, este grupo ya constituye cerca del 25% de los profesionales activos, lo que equivale a más de 23 millones de personas.

Does accessibility bring development, or does development bring accessibility?
Accessibility – in its aspects of mobility, urban, digital and social inclusion – and development – whether economic, social or technological – are intrinsically linked.
Accessibility and sustainability: one single path to the future
The word sustainability often evokes images of a preserved environment, clean energy, and green cities. For a long time, the focus of sustainable development was almost exclusively on the environmental pillar.
Disability and poverty: how each feeds the other
Poverty and disability often go hand in hand, creating a difficult cycle to break. People with disabilities face additional obstacles in education, employment, and access to basic services, which can lead to poverty. At the same time, conditions of poverty – such as malnutrition, lack of sanitation, and inadequate healthcare – increase the risk of developing disabilities or exacerbate existing limitations.
User experiences in accessible spaces: autonomy, safety and quality of life for everyone
Autonomy, security, and dignity are universal values – we all want to move freely, access services, and participate in society without obstacles. Accessibility, in this context, is key to ensuring a positive user experience in any space, whether at work, in transportation, in culture, in the city, or in the digital environment.
Smart Cities and More Accessible Urban Environments
De forma simplificada, uma Smart Cities (cidades inteligentes) são cidades que utilizam tecnologias de informação e comunicação de forma integrada para melhorar a gestão urbana e tornar os serviços públicos mais eficientes, sustentáveis e acessíveis aos cidadãos. Sensores espalhados pelo espaço urbano, dispositivos conectados e sistemas de gerenciamento de dados em tempo real coletam informações sobre trânsito, clima, consumo de energia, qualidade do ar, uso dos espaços públicos, entre outros fatores.
