Inclusive Streetscapes: A Human Centred Framework for Streetscape Design:

Our streets and public spaces connect people to jobs, services, recreation and community life- but too often they are designed without fully considering the diverse needs of the people who use them. Inclusive Streetscapes challenges practitioners and decision-makers to rethink how streets are planned, designed, built, operated and maintained. Drawing on transportation practice and the perspectives of people with disabilities, this framework examines common streetscape elements through the lenses of accessibility, safety, usability, and human experience. Written for planners, engineers, policymakers, advocates, and transportation professionals, this book provides a foundation for more inclusive, people-first decision-making. Inclusive streets are more than a matter of compliance- they are essential to safety, independence, connectivity, and participation in community life.
