Reimagining inclusive cities: Five strategies to design accessibility for all Dr. Victor Pineda, a long-time advocate for disability rights, has emphasized the importance of prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion in urban planning. This is because cities often fail to cater to the needs of persons with disabilities and older people, especially amidst the current wave of urbanization. To address this issue, Pineda has proposed five strategies for designing accessible cities. These include early engagement with people with disabilities, incorporation of universal design principles right from the start, fostering diverse collaboration, prioritizing accessibility as a moral imperative, and leveraging technology for proactive design. These strategies align closely with the goals of the MAAT project, which aims to promote evidence-based urban policymaking and raise awareness of intersectional gender inequalities. By implementing these strategies in urban planning, we can contribute to the creation of more equitable and inclusive cities.
