WHEN INCLUSIVE DESIGN...ISN'T (PART 1)

TOWN PLANNING MUST SERVE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES 

I love urban design. As a part of the extended disability community (my wife has used a wheelchair for mobility for four decades and is a brilliant Americans with Disabilities Act compliance professional), could it please love me back?

I even love all 100 drawings per day posted by urban designers, traffic engineers, town planners and architects that show how inclusive streets and sidewalks can be. 

I really appreciate that they are angling so hard to cash in on the post-pandemic new world order—or at least design of its streets and streetscapes.

OK, that was snarky.
