SUMMARY - Universal Design in Infrastructure

Universal design aims to create environments usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without adaptation or specialized design. Applied to public infrastructure, universal design goes beyond minimum accessibility requirements to create spaces that work well for everyone—people with disabilities, seniors, children, parents with strollers, people carrying packages, and the able-bodied alike. This approach shifts from accessibility as accommodation to inclusion as default.
