Accessibility

Cities of Europe aims to work with keyboards, assistive technology, zoom, and reduced-motion settings. It has not been certified against a formal accessibility standard.

Current approach

Pages use semantic headings, landmarks, links, lists, tables, labels, and buttons where those elements fit the content. A skip link moves keyboard users to the main content. Navigation remains available on narrow screens, and visible focus styles identify the active control.

Motion effects turn off when the browser reports a reduced-motion preference. Interactive controls are designed for keyboard use, and data tables keep captions and header cells where the page uses a table.

Known limitations

Dense comparison and ranking tables may require horizontal scrolling on small screens or at high zoom.
Map-like decorative graphics do not provide geographic detail to screen-reader users. The same city facts appear as text.
Third-party controls used for contact-form verification can have accessibility behaviour outside this site's control.
The site has not completed an independent accessibility audit or formal WCAG conformance review.

Report a barrier

Use the contact form and choose "Accessibility". Include the page URL, what you were trying to do, what blocked you, and the browser or assistive technology involved. Do not send sensitive medical information.

Cities of Europe does not publish a contact email address. The form is the contact route for accessibility requests.
