Ableist Cities Symposium

2025 Ableist Cities Symposium

Drawing inspiration from last year's exploration of spatial justice and the physical and attitudinal barriers faced by individuals with disabilities, the 2025 Ableist Cities Symposium intended to hear narratives of individual lived experience or co-designed research.

Emphasising an integrated approach, the symposium sought to marry the realms of politics, policy, and practical applications to address the pressing challenges faced in the built environment. In giving voice to these narratives, the aim was to ignite conversations that will shape our cities to make them more inclusive, equitable, and accessible for all.
