Students are introduced to disability within an urban planning context to study the inclusivity of cities and city building processes. The course reviews important aspects of disability and geography, such as disability representation in maps, geographic concepts of accessibility, and participatory mapping. Students delve into applied urban planning practices and policies related to disability and transportation, housing, and community and economic development. Students will come away with a greater understanding of how urban planning policies and practices shape the experience of disability and hold potential for building inclusive cities.
