The conversation around accessibility in the built and natural environment continues to grow, with disability rightly becoming a priority when designing spaces.
Mike Adams is CEO of Purple, and continues to lead changes in the disability conversation, and joins RICS’ Sybil Taunton alongside Accessibility & Inclusive Environments Specialist, Jean Hewitt for this week’s episode of The RICS Podcast.
We cover the wide-spanning accessibility needs beyond our typical perceptions, why it’s key for organisations to prioritise inclusion, and how professionals can further improve the built environment for those with disabilities.
This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:
- What accessibility means beyond typical perceptions of physical space and audiovisual content
- The largest risks to organisations when accessibility isn’t prioritised
- Where built environment professionals can make impact to create more inclusive spaces
