The Role of Technology in Making Cities Accesible. By Juan Pablo León Golib

For the past few years, technology has been very important and essential for our daily basis. It has improved security, ways of transport, jobs, schools, etc., but in this case, we can use it even to make cities accessible for people with disabilities.

Some examples nowadays are electric wheelchairs, electric platforms, sirens for blind people to cross the street, and well-known elevators. All of these make their lives easier, by facilitating their movement around cities without having to ask people for help and really just making their daily routine as normal as possible.

However, the price of this type of technology is even more expensive as time goes on, and depending on it a lot to a certain point that we can’t do anything without it is not a good idea

In my opinion, to make better accessibility for people like this, we need to have a balance between technological and modern facilities and practical ones.
