Disability, Accessibility and Universal Design
Universal Design (UD) principles are widely adopted globally to enhance inclusivity in various sectors, with Japan being a leading example of successful implementation. Through historical shifts in policy, Japan has established comprehensive strategies that encompass public transportation, urban infrastructure, and effective community involvement. The chapter emphasizes how Japan's approach can serve as a valuable model for other nations, especially in integrating UD in the context of aging populations and accessibility challenges.
