Street markers



The whole idea of "Urban Inclusive Design", isnt just for people in wheelchairs. The whole concepts revolves around the idea that daily transit should be easy without barriers. This concept even takes left handedness into consideration.

I was talking to Yusuke Endo the other day about this topic and he sent me some pictures from his home of how they deal with such issues in Tokyo. I was amazed to see the amount of effort they put into making the streets accessible for the Blind. Amazing! We should learn from these cultures, they seem to understand the whole concept in its importance.
