Abstract

The article emphasizes the problems of social inequality, materialized in the objects of urban space. The design of mobility barriers for citizens with disabilities is considered in the new framework for comparing discourses of accessibility of the environment, universal design and an inclusive approach to environmental practices. Data from a sociological study of the urban citizenship of people with disabilities is presented, their right to their city has been considered in line with social knowledge and architectural practices. The article is based on classical sociological theories, data of independent examinations on the quality of urban space, and also on a review of specialized periodicals and reports prepared in the framework of urban forums. The results of the research emphasize the constructive start of inclusive design, its role in the reorganization of the urban order and in overcoming social discrimination and exclusion. The article is devoted to the sociological understanding of the relationship of architecture, social policy and disability issues.
