The project

What is Mapability

MapAbility is a portal dedicated to urban accessibility. It gives information regarding accessibility at street level. Users can see in real time the most accessible ways inside the city centre and plan their route accordingly. The map also shows dedicated parking spots and other services.

 

The development of the mapability project involves the creation of collaboration tools to easily map the city and the level of accessibility of each street. The aim is to make anyone able to map the city they live in.
