People with Disabilities are Not Innately Vulnerable (Part 17)

But when they are left out of the adaptation planning process — the consequences can be disastrous

“My frustration is the things we’re pushing for are good for everybody,” Holloway said, explaining that Universal Design is not the same as trying to interpret complex and litigated ADA compliance.

“We need to work with nature, not against it. We’ve learned that working against it doesn’t work. There are so many distractions for engineers and builders, but a common-sense approach — designing with accessibility for all — makes sense economically, environmentally and in terms of sustainability/resiliency.”
