Mapping Our Cities for All: A participatory baseline of business accessibility in Canada
Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, Volume 70, Issue 1, Spring / printemps 2026.Abstract Canada has committed to eliminating accessibility barriers by 2040, yet municipalities lack clear, comparable evidence on where building access breaks down. To address this gap, we set out to produce and test a participatory, city‐scale method to measure building accessibility of businesses. We report results from Mapping Our Cities for All, a
