The conversation will focus on SDG 11.6, to discuss the idea of providing universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities”.
How are cities acting on this? What can they learn from each other? How are we adapting the agenda’s objectives to the new scenarios from Covid19?
