At least in Spain, all the public buildings are retrofitted with removable wheelchair ramps and wheelchair lifts. They also install handrails and other accessibility measures, like tactile flooring/paving for the blind, non slip surfaces or induction loops.
Private buildings are different, because the owner (or owners) have to decide to implement those measures themselves, unless they’re offering a public service in that building. Most don’t implement those accessibility measures because they don’t need them, but residential buildings often install them when someone who needs them lives in the building.
not quite, it goes that far for the customer facing portion of buisness unless it is a renovation or new construction. At least as far as I can tell anyway.

American living in Spain - it’s probably more accessible than NYC, but that’s the least accessible in the US.
Yes, and that’s problematic. All businesses should be as accessible as possible
even the US doesn’t go that far
It quite literally does
