Despite improvements in the last 30 years we still have a long way to go before all of our buildings are easy and comfortable for all of us to use. This book puts forward a powerful case for a totally new attitude towards inclusivity and accessibility.
An eye-opening guide to the many factors impacting accessibility in the built environment, this essential text is packed with illustrated examples of both good and bad design. It challenges the notion that inclusive design is simply a list of “special features” to be added to a final design, or that inclusivity is only about wheelchair access.
Exploring both the social and the business cases for striving for better standards, this essential resource empowers architects to have more enlightened discussions with their clients about why we should be striving for more than the bare minimum.

Julie has been advising on the creation of an accessible and inclusive environment for the last 30 years. As the Principal Access and Inclusive Design Adviser at the Greater London Authority she was responsible for the inclusive design and accessible housing policies in the London Plan. Following the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Julie was seconded to the Office for Disability Issues as the Project Lead for the Government's Paralympic Legacy BEPE Project (the Built Environment Professional Education Project). She is a Design Council Built Environment Expert, a member of British Standards B/559 Committee, and in 2004 was awarded the OBE for services to disabled people.
