Considering the interrelationships between disability and housing design
with a focus on the role of policy in addressing the housing needs of
disabled people, this book sets out some of the broader debates about
the nature of housing, quality and design. In what ways are domestic
design and architecture implicated in inhibiting or facilitating
mobility and movement of people? What is the nature of government
regulation and policy in relation to the design of home environments?
The author addresses these questions, and brings a range of approaches
to accessible design in housing to the forefront of debate, assessing
how far policies and practices are equal to the challenge of creating
accessible and desirable home environments.
