This study joins data from different sources to identify accessibility resources in the districts of the city of São Paulo. Ten databases were combined to analyze:
- bus lines;
- subway and train stations;
- reserved parking for elderly and people with disabilities;
- relief and topography;
- accessibility reviews of venues and landmarks.
Our goal is not to draw final conclusions, but to create a starting point for discussions. The model was put up from found resources, and it certainly presents several limiations. Therefore, other variables can and should be added to enrich the analysis.
