New Milestone in Accessibility in Odesa

Odesa is currently engaged in marking a new barrier-free route.

The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy has introduced a fresh design for communications within the framework of the National Strategy for creating an accessible space by 2030.

This design system includes:

  • a universal logo;
  • consistent guidelines for font and color usage;
  • a visual system,
  • based on six aspects of accessibility:
  • physical,
  • informational,
  • educational,
  • digital,
  • civic,
  • economic.

Each area is represented as a separate point in the logo. Together, they form a circle — a symbol of unity, inclusivity, and equal access for all, regardless of individual characteristics.

With this logo, the marking of the barrier-free route is taking place today in Odesa.

This is a crucial phase of a larger initiative launched by the mayor of Odesa, Hennadiy Trukhanov, under the pilot project "Movement Without Barriers." The marking process is carried out by expert groups from the Barrier-Free Council with the participation of people with disabilities, urban planners, and accessibility specialists.
