Walk- and Wheel-able Neighbourhoods

Ideas of ‘standardised bodies’ have long shaped our buildings, neighbourhoods and cities. What can we do as designers to move away from this exclusionary thinking? How can architects, landscape architects and other built environment professionals help create walkable and wheelable neighbourhoods? How does movement and access in and around buildings and cities intersect with climate justice? What do all of these ideas mean in rural and regional sites as well as urban and suburban locations?

Watch this fantastic session with two speakers whose work disrupts the dominant ways of thinking about urban design, town planning and architecture and seeks to make space for all.
