THE PROJECT DEIN*ORT DEALS WITH BARRIERS AND SOLUTIONS
What are barriers?
There are many obstacles in everyday life in the city. They make it difficult to do the things you want to do. Different people experience these obstacles differently. For example, because of their age or culture. Barriers can include:
- No lift in the building
- Darkness and fear
- Not speaking your own language
In this project, we look at the barriers that people encounter in public spaces. First, we collect barriers, then we think about solutions.
What are solutions in this project?
Solutions help to remove or avoid barriers.
Barriers do not just arise out of nowhere – they arise because public spaces do not meet certain requirements.

In the DEIN*ORT project, we look at barriers and develop solutions
„Innovation begins where people share their stories.
That’s why, in this project, we collect experiences of barriers from different perspectives — to develop solutions“.
In the project, we looked at different methods of gathering information. We considered who needs to be involved in order to learn how meeting places can be well designed. We also considered who the experts in science and practice are. Then we adapted the methods. The experts were able to contribute their experiences. You too can share your barriers by clicking on the box below.
We learned from the obstacles, people’s stories and our information. As part of the project, solutions were developed together with people who experience obstacles.

We will present the results and solutions at our conference on 15 September 2025. If you would also like to participate, you can register on the ‘Conference’ page.
