ALL URBAN DESIGN SHOULD BE HUMAN-CENTERED

UNIVERSAL DESIGN IS THE PATH TO ACHIEVING IT

Note how Universal Design Creator Ronald L. Mace, who used a wheelchair for mobility, did not name it disability inclusion design.

His genius understood that when you design without barriers – EVERYONE BENEFITS. 

The ramp and wide sidewalk may be essential for the person who uses a wheelchair.

But the lack of steps also removes a tripping hazard.

Wide sidewalks benefit young families pushing strollers.

Curbramps are beloved by the armada of delivery professionals rolling hundreds of pounds of goods through the central city as e-commerce and online buying expands.
