English logo of project Safe City

When we discuss how pavements, pedestrian crossings or other elements of the city where we travel on foot should look like, very often one word comes up: they should be even. But what is even for one person might not be even enough for someone with disabilities experiencing mobility problems. Any of us can become such a person!

news-12Therefore, we are happy to present an elaboration whose author is dr hab. inż. arch. Marek Wysocki from the Centre of Univesal Design at the Technical University of Gdańsk. He discusses an issue that is very often forgotten: space that meets the needs of the disabled becomes space which is user-friendly for everyone.

 

The meeting will take place on September 27, 2015 (Tuesday), in Niebostan (ul. Piotrkowska 17)  at 18.00.
