People and Policies: The role of people with disabilities in co-creating public spaces through policy tools
John Paul Cruz
(World Enabled and G3ict's Smart Cities for All)
Paper short abstract:
The disability community can be a catalyst for urban transformation. This section discusses how the engagement with people with disabilities has shaped policy tools that are now transforming cities and global organizations in their use of new and emerging information and communication technologies.
Paper long abstract:
In the last half-decade, more and more people with disabilities are co-creating their public spaces in cities across the globe. This section provides an overview of global efforts to engage people with disabilities to develop policy tools used to transform urban spaces. The discussant will showcase a few of these policy tools and how they have been deployed in developed and developing urban spaces. After providing an overview, there will be a discussion of key cities that have been benefiting from the impact of these policy tools, particularly in the use of information and communication technologies. The discussion also highlights the importance of using policy tools within the context of each city or organization. Experiences in applying these tools show that people with disabilities reap the most benefit when global policy tools are localized.
