Universal Design is a concept within Architecture and Urban Planning that seeks to create spaces and environments that are accessible and usable by all people, regardless of age, size, ability, or disability. It is based on the principles of flexibility in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, and size and space for approach and use. Universal Design is often used to create public spaces, such as parks, sidewalks, and buildings, that are accessible to all. Universal Design is also used to create products and services that are accessible to all. This includes products such as furniture, appliances, and technology, as well as services such as transportation, healthcare, and education.
