Presentation: Inclusive Urban Environments

Attendees of the AGM will also be able to hear from Antony Clewes on Inclusive Urban Environments.

As the built environment scrambles to combat the climate crisis and improve the environmental sustainability of urban environments, is social sustainability falling to the wayside of the sustainability conversation?

Explore why inclusive urban environments are crucial to fulfilling the UK commitments to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The speaker will also discuss some of the challenges faced when retrofitting existing urban areas for the inclusion of all members of society.
