The city of Dunkerque, France, is a leading example of urban accessibility. It has implemented a comprehensive programme covering public roads, public buildings and services, in order to ensure a fully continuous mobility chain.
Public spaces were brought up to standard through corrected cross-slopes, widened sidewalks, tactile paving, safer pedestrian crossings and accessible bus stops.
Cultural and tourist facilities were fully adapted, with lifts, high-contrast signage, tactile devices, hearing loops and accessible toilets. In parallel, the city strengthened digital accessibility, trained professionals and structured a governance model involving disability organisations.
This integrated approach earned Dunkirk the national ‘Destination for All, in 2021 – Gold Level’ label. The award is valid for 5 years.
