Inconsiderate urban design can decrease the autonomy of people with mobility #disabilities. We discovered several examples during our spatial survey in #Birmingham.

Hurry up - last day! We will be recruiting participants for our study on physical accessibility until Nov,1. Together we will co-design potential solutions for transport physical facilities. If you are interested in joining us, just send a message!

New year, new ideas, new designs! The second stage of our project has already begun. Our team is designing a prototype with users of mobility devices. Something good is on the way...

"...they hadn't made the right provisions at that particular entrance she was coming too." This is infuriating. Another sign that the built environment is anything but #inclusive. #architecture #disabled #accessibility #inequality bbc.co.uk/news/world-591…

Entrances missing clear signage, pavilions without step-free access, blocked tactile guides... We need to change the way we design public spaces. Systemically. Urgently. #accessibility #uk #architecture #COP26 #Disability disabilitynewsservice.com/document-revea…

In this article, we discuss how inconsiderate #design of the built environment may impact the #disabled population; our focus is on users of #Mobility #AssistiveDevices. Nils Jäger tandfonline.com/eprint/DK9RWYW…
