CLEVELAND: THE WORLD’S MOST BARRIER-FREE CITY -- 6

ZERO THRESHOLD DESIGN COMPETITION IS A GREAT FIRST STEP


So yes, why not Cleveland as American’s best barrier-free city?

A good transit system can be strengthened to provide people options to get around without having to own a car. 

Old city streets in need of water/sewer/repaving upgrades – can be redesigned as complete streets – places where pedestrians, cyclists, folks who use wheelchairs and transit riders are safely accommodated (along corridors where speeding, dangerous automobiles were once king).

We would argue that barrier-free design is sustainable design that is even more crucial than design for climate change. 

Beautiful, barrier-free design is a great equalizer. It does not care if you are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, male, female, LBTQ, religious, not so religious, rich or poor. 

It simply aims to create a better built environment – from the place you sleep to the way you get around town to where you work, go to school and shop – that promises better quality of life for all.

Final registration and submission deadline is July 15, 2019 -- so hurry up and get details at:
