A grey-scale illustration of a street scene outside a shop. A person using a mobility aid and another person using a cane are shown, suggesting the lack of visible accessible infrastructure makes navigating the area challenging. Overlay text reads: "When navigating the world proves difficult..."

A vibrant, purple and blue illustration of the same street scene now showing accessible features. A person who has a visual impairment is using a cane and is stood at a crossing as an audio signal is shown notifying him it is safe to cross. A person using a crutch walks confidently along level paving nearby. Overlay text reads: "Accessibility leads the way."

Navigating the world: Is it a struggle or a clear path?

Accessibility leads the way to independence and confidence for all customers.

How universities can help make our cities more accessible for people with disabilities A lack of accessibility can have a serious impact on a person’s quality of life. Universities should teach students to develop creative solutions that make urban environments more inclusive.

As we face increasing challenges in making cities inclusive for people with disabilities, it's essential that design and architecture programs focus on universal accessibility.

Obama the black and white pony taking a lady in her wheelchair round Stanmer Park in Sussex. Her wheelchair is on Obama's three wheeled, wheelchair enabled vehicle.

Oba the pony taking a guy in his wheelchair up Hound Tor on Dartmoor in the snow.

If #accessiblecities means what it says, remember some people can't ride bikes.
And if you don't want ponies to crap on the concrete, don't cover the planet with concrete.
Obama the pony provides freedom for people.
And wants to be part of Urbanism.

Why do so many people still believe that we can achieve change with facts or arguments? We have to make the positive future tangible. Emotions provide food for thought & can then also motivate action.

Photo of a car waiting in red lights. The driver is getting out of the car to press a wait button for car drivers. There is a wait button in front with an image of a car and a red stop signal for cars.

I have a dream… I want cities that are built for people, not for cars. When cycling or walking I am often frustrated how I need to stop, press a button and wait for the green light just to make sure a possible car approaching can go faster. 🌇🌳☀️
