READi Collaborator Professor Bjarki Hallgrimsson has a new article in the Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management about Universal Design as an innovation strategy for accessibility. “By training architects, engineers and industrial designers to incorporate important universal design principles into their work as a matter of norm, the long-term effects and expectations of PWD will also be addressed without the need for as much oversight and advocacy as in the current approach. This is exactly what the new Research and Education in Accessibility Design and Innovation (READi) programme, headed by Dr Adrian Chan at Carleton University aims to do.”
