Remotely accessible

"Such is the elite domination of urban heights these days that it is questionable whether even a successful mobilisation on behalf of such a vision could really open such spaces up to the less wealthy or less powerful. Indeed, where the latest high-level bridges and decks between towers are being constructed, they are much more likely to house private swimming pools for the upper middle classes and überwealthy than anything remotely accessible to the general public."


What does the phrase "remotely accessible" mean in this context?
