The Access City Award is an anual award granted by the European Commission to cities within the European Union who have demonstrated efforts to make their cities more accessible to disabled people and the elderly.

The Access City Award is the first European award for accessible cities, Launched by the European Commission in 2011. It was created alongside the EU Disability Strategy 2010-2020. ^{[1] [2]}

To qualify for this award, applying cities must::^[3]

• Be in the European Union
• Have a Population of more than 50,000 (urban areas composed of two or more cities can apply together if they reach 50,000 inhabitants in total)
• Must not have won first place the year prior

Althought there are no strict critera about what needs a city must meet in order to achieve this award, candidates must show that they have made considerable efforts in improving accessibility in the folowing areas^[4]:

• The built enviroment and public spaces
• Transport and related infrastructure
• Information and Communication Technologies
• Public facilities and services

These efforts will then be weighed in the following categories^[5]:

• Scope of the actions - Applicants should demonstare clear improvements in accessibility in all of the four categories,
• Ownership, Level of commitment - Applicants must show that improvements to accessibility are part of a policy frame work or a global strategy.
• Quality and sustainability of results - Applicants must assess the sustainability of their improvements and advancing their compliance with legislation. They must consider and show sound monitoring mechanisms (Regular checking, complaints and resolution as well as how repairs are notified and fixed)
• Involvement of persons with disabilities and relevant partners - Applicants must show clear and active collaboration with disabled people and their representative organisations. Accessibility experts should be consulted during planning, implementation and maintenance of initiatives.
• Impact - changes to improve accessibility should show a clear positive impact for disabled people day to day, and an improvement to quality of life within the city for the general population.
• Social involvement -

The winning cities recieve a cash prize^[6]

• 1st prize: €150,000
• 2nd prize: €120,000
• 3rd prize: €80,000

The Access City Award is not strict in its criteria of what is an accessible city. Instead applicants are judged via self reported qualitative descriptions of policies and initiatives implemented, these are then read and judged by jurors.^[7] It is successful in raising awarness to accessibiliy solutions already in place, but does not provide feedback for example of what cities could be doing better ^[8].
