Baku, Azerbaijan, 17 May 2026. The Accessibility 2030 Pavilion will return to the World Urban Forum (WUF) when WUF13 opens its doors in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 17 to 22 May 2026. Building on the historic momentum generated at WUF12 in Cairo, the Pavilion once again creates a dedicated space to explore the role of accessibility and disability inclusion in ‘Housing the World’.
For the Global Disability Innovation Hub (GDI Hub), participation in the WUF is important for sharing our work and learning from others about inclusive cities. Considering our ongoing Inclusive City Pilot Project in Addis Ababa, this year we invited and supported the participation of Abayneh Gujo, Executive Director of the Federation of Ethiopian Associations of Persons with Disabilities, and Mahmoud Kedir Reshid, Persons with Disabilities Social Rehabilitation Senior Expert at the Ministry of Women and Social Affairs of Ethiopia, to accompany the GDI Hub delegation at World Urban Forum 13 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Join us at the Accessibility 2030 Pavilion at WUF in Baku, Azerbaijan, and be part of this historic moment as we work together to shape the future of accessible urban design!
