It is time for universal design (UD) to move beyond merely meeting legal requirements and to become part of everyday life, say organisers of the upcoming UD Expo in Bangkok.
Thailand’s ageing society and growing diversity highlight the need for equal access to infrastructure and services, said Pinya Jamroonsart, deputy director-general of the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities.
The department, under the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, is staging the expo in partnership with the Thais with Disabilities Foundation (TDF) and Thammasat University.
