[Accessibility] Event

[Alessandro Sarretta]

Hi Jessica,

thanks for the proposal, I'd be interested in joining a discussion on 
accessibility and GIS (with a focus on OSM). A couple of years ago we 
presented the results <https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3370705> of an 
exercise in using OSM for planning urban accessibility in Padua (Italy) 
an I'd like to see and talk about other similar experiences.

Best,

Ale
