Accessibility in the Planning Profession

This project sought to find out how non-accessibility specialist urban planners (from all sectors and fields) understand and operationalize accessibility and disability in their daily work. We recently published the results in Town Planning Review, the World’s oldest planning journal (est. 1912). The paper is Open Access, and was chosen by the Editors as the featured article. We also wrote a short article about it on LinkedIN about it.
