ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL
Pineda shared from a 2020 article on
his work in the Haas Berkeley online newsletter:
“I have five criteria for making cities accessible.
The first is about laws at every level of government and what they say about building accessibility into city services or the technologies that cities use.
The second is about leadership: `Are city leaders
talking about these issues and using their budgets to identify barriers and
remove them?,’” Pineda said in the article.
“The third area, which is critical, is about institutional capacity. You need a cross-agency approach. For example, do all 56 agencies in New York City’s government understand what digital accessibility is?,” he asked.
“My fourth criterion is about participation and
representation. Are you only talking to people who use wheelchairs about how to
build an accessible smart city, or are you also asking people with dementia?”
