The document discusses accessibility challenges and policies in Amsterdam. It notes that since 2006, the population has grown 7% annually, workspaces have increased 10% annually, and tourism has risen 12% annually. Currently, Amsterdam sees over 500,000 daily cycling trips. Air quality has been improving. The Amsterdam Action Plan for Mobility aims to make the city attractive, accessible, clean, and safe for residents and visitors through initiatives like adding bike parking, improving bike paths and public transit speed, moving permit parking off-street, and using open data and digital tools. The future brings challenges but also opportunities to use big data for more advanced mobility solutions as patterns change with the new North/South metro line.
