At the63rd IMCL Conference I was privileged to meet with Mārtiņš Daģis, mayor of Jelgava-a city that reinvents itself. It's powerful to discuss accessibility and livable cities in a place defined by resilience. Honored that @taskarcenter.bsky.social work can contribute. #Accessibility #OpenSidewalks
Dr. Anat Caspi (right), Director of the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology at the University of Washington, stands with Mārtiņš Daģis (left), Chairman of the Jelgava City Council, inside the Jelgava History and Art Museum of Ģederts Eliass in Jelgava, Latvia. They are smiling for a photo attending IMCL a conference about accessibility, mobility, and creating more livable cities. The museum's elegant historic interior, featuring warm lighting and architectural details, provides the backdrop.
