While progress is being made, inclusive design in the built environment is still not common practice. That’s why the British Design Council launched a hub that is a collection of the latest guidance and best practice on inclusive design in the built environment. For the occasion this nice and inspiring video was made to explain what real inclusive design actually means.
‘An inclusive society is one that leaves no one behind’, Design Council writes on the hub. ‘An inclusive approach to planning, design and management is an opportunity to use creativity and lateral thinking to make places that reflect the diversity of people who want to use them. Crucial to this is consultation with user groups, putting people who represent a diversity of age, ability, gender and community at the heart of the design process.’
Design Council invites everyone to provide suggestions for further resources to be included to the hub, from guides to case studies, from the UK and internationally.
‘Our aspiration is that this becomes the central place for people to learn and be inspired about inclusive design.’
