Have you ever thought about what cities can do to make it easy for everyone to get around in very hilly areas? Let's go to Lausanne (Switzerland) to discover how the city is using public lifts to make walking easier for residents and visitors. While Lausanne is not as famous for its hills as some other cities, it is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva and features varying elevations. The city's topography includes slopes and inclines, offering picturesque views of the lake and surrounding landscapes. In this new UMX video, we will find out more about the city's commitment to inclusivity as we delve into the design, impact, and community benefits of public lifts. Get ready to learn why these lifts are a game-changer for urban mobility.

Bravo Lausanne pour ce gros travail d'aménagement ! 💪 Et votre volonté de rendre la marche à pied accessible à tous et notamment aux personnes à mobilité réduite ! Avec plaisir pour échanger avec Pierre Corajoud pour intégrer des itinéraires piétons accessibles dans votre app mobilité !
