At Bevica Fonden, we use advanced AI-based translation tools to make our Danish content accessible in English. However, some content – particularly academic articles and nuanced texts – require a level of linguistic accuracy and subject-specific precision that automated tools cannot yet guarantee.
This is why this article is available only in its original language (Danish). We have chosen not to offer an English version in order to preserve the integrity, clarity, and scholarly intent of the original work.

New research shows we forget all those with special needs when creating city spaces. And that has implications for all of us.
