Cities for All Through Universal Accessibility

November 2024

About

Inclusion, universal access, and empathy are key to building mobility systems that serve all members of society. It is vital to prioritize the needs of underrepresented groups — such as women, the elderly, children, and people with disabilities — through participatory decision-making in planning and delivering mobility infrastructure.​

Ensuring accessibility and universal design is essential for creating inclusive systems. Persons with disabilities are often overlooked, yet their needs should be central. Accessible public spaces and transportation options make mobility usable for everyone, regardless of ability. Empathetic, inclusive design fosters independence for persons with disabilities and benefits all, including caregivers, the elderly, and children.
