Comprehensive Universal Design plan by 2025: Towards a universally designed city of Oslo
Channel: Zero Project
Date: 2021-04-30

Welcome to the awardee video of Comprehensive Universal Design plan by 2025, a winner of the 2018 Zero Project Award on Accessibility.

Oslo Kommune (the administrative authority of Oslo, Norway) has developed a comprehensive plan for Universal Design (UD) covering transportation, communication, construction, public property, outdoor areas, and information and communication technology (ICT), with the goal that all municipal agencies and companies will implement UD requirements in their areas of responsibilities by 2025. The strategy requires all new government-operated buildings, parks, public spaces, and transport systems to have Universal Design implemented from a project’s inception and for this to be included in the overall building costs. In 2017 the majority of government buildings were already fully accessible.
