ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the role of accessibility based instruments (AIs) in planning practice, presenting the result of a study conducted in the COST Action TU1002. Fifteen structured workshops were organized in different local contexts and AIs were applied as a platform for discussion around a given planning problem. Before and after the workshop, two surveys explored the AI developers’ views on AIs and the way they are used. The main results account for changed understanding and attitudes toward AIs due to new insights gained from implementing AIs in a concrete case study and from interaction with other colleagues and with practitioners.
