• The World Health Organization says that 15% of the world’s population lives with an impairment or disability.
• As the world’s population increases more people will live in cities. This means more people with disabilities will be living in cities.
• As cities grow in size, we need to think about how they are built and who they are for.
• People with disabilities are young, old, women, men, and of every race and ethnicity.
• Inclusive cities think about people’s diversity and break down barriers.
