Participant Experiences of Navigating in the City

Participants also report that disabling barriers make life in the city feel dangerous. Previous studies have documented an increased risk of fatal accidents, traffic injuries, hospitalizations, and collisions for people with disabilities, and participants in this research project likewise described experiencing a higher risk of slipping, falling, tipping over, being hit by vehicles, or otherwise getting injured when navigating a world where their needs are not considered in the design of urban spaces and infrastructure.
