Abstract

The urbanization process around the world nowadays focuses on the concept of “people-oriented” construction, and the construction of barrier-free environment is the practice of it. In this paper, we selected the accessibility policies of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and based on the four-dimensional comparative analysis of the policy texts, we found that the PRD region takes the timeliness as the starting point, the people’s government as the main focus, and accelerates the infrastructure construction of the barrier-free environment, focusing on the standards of barrier-free facilities. The Hong Kong and Macao regions take the barrier-free life of urban subjects as the premise, and continuously improve the construction of barrier-free environment through the collective power of grassroots organizations. Therefore, this paper argues that the PRD region needs to broaden the coverage of space and places for barrier-free environment construction, introduce incentive mechanisms to promote more organizations and individuals to participate in the construction, and also focus on the equality between people with and without disabilities in terms of spirituality.
