Description
This book illuminates the pressing need for cities to adapt to changing demographics, particularly the growing population of older persons and individuals with disabilities. The lens of the Capability Model is used to highlight that disability is not inherent to the individual but is instead created by social barriers that can be eliminated through radical inclusion.
Uncover the historical context and entrenched beliefs that have perpetuated exclusionary urban landscapes and disadvantage for marginalized groups. Deep-dive into the intricate interplay of geographical space, recognizing its pivotal role in shaping our cities and exacerbating spatial injustice. The construction industry, a vital agent in forging accessible environments, often falls short in accommodating persons with disabilities and older individuals. This pivotal work underscores the urgent need for integrated approaches woven into the fabric of cities, companies, and the construction industry itself, to ensure universal accessibility.Drawing upon practical strategies and compelling case studies, the book presents actionable frameworks such as the DisCo Policy Framework and the Iceberg of Inequality Model, facilitating the assessment of progress towards achieving radical inclusion. The book concludes with a simple premise; the future is accessible. Embark on a journey into the cities of tomorrow, where inclusion and belonging are the norm.
