UNIVERSAL DESIGN IS THE PATH TO ACHIEVING IT
Call me the accidental urbanist.
I never dreamed I would be speaking around the world and
the U.S. on Universal Design and how to make cities better and more inclusive
for all people – especially those with disabilities.
My first dream was to be a major league baseball player.
Let’s just say if there really were deals with the devil,
I’d have played third base for the Cleveland Guardians for a decade and my soul
would have been headed to a very hot and uncomfortable place.
When it turned out I was not so great at hitting a
baseball, I figured I’d be a sportswriter covering a major league team.
My dad worked in the back shop of the Akron Beacon
Journal, so I figured he could help me get a foot in the door and soon I’d be
writing about walk-off home runs and near no-hitters.
