This article puts forward a method for the analysis of potential spatial accessibility to urban opportunities and presents the findings of its application to the metropoli-tan cities of Milan and Lyon. The presentation of the method, based on the use of open data and GIS, and of the results, focused on the identification of vulnerable areas in terms of (in)accessibility, will be preceded by a review of the definitions and of the techniques used in research on spatial accessibility.
