Planning, Transport and Accessibility
This book focuses on the way in which urban planning and transport planning can work together to achieve sustainable accessibility. Sustainable accessibility has a focus on walking, cycling and public transport, achieved by planning urban areas so that a person’s daily activities are undertaken closer to home.It is also about reducing the need to travel by private car, especially for long distances.This approach is critically important in the context of the climate emergency we face.Illustrated by case studies from the UK, Australia and Sweden, this book shows how, and why, we can successfully plan for sustainable accessibility through urban development planning and transport planning practices.Examining three different spatial scales: Metropolitan, Town Centres, and Neighbourhoods, and employing a multi-dimensional perspective, sustainable accessibility is considered through the lens of different residents and their daily needs.There is a strong focus on their qualities of ‘place’ and on governance, considering who should take action, and how processes of implementation influence the effectiveness of design approaches.This innovative multi-dimensional perspective re-frames traditional approaches and offers the reader an appreciation of the bigger picture of what is needed to plan for sustainable accessibility, while at the same time outlining the specific details that are necessary for its implementation and introducing the application of accessibility thinking and associated tools.

Breaking Down Barriers : Usability, Accessibility and Inclusive Design
The Cambridge Workshops on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) is one of the few gatherings where people interested in inclusive design, across different fields, including designers, computer scientists, engineers, architects, ergonomists, ethnographers, policymakers and user communities, meet, discuss, and collaborate.CWUAAT has also become an international workshop, representing diverse cultures including Portugal, Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, Australia, China, Norway, USA, Belgium, UK, and many more. The workshop has five main themes based on barriers identified in the developing field of design for inclusion: I Breaking Down Barriers between Disciplines II Breaking Down Barriers between Users, Designers and Developers III Removing Barriers to Usability, Accessibility and Inclusive Design IV Breaking Down Barriers between People with Impairments and Those without V Breaking Down Barriers between Research and Policy-making In the context of developing demographic changes leading to greater numbers of older people and people living with impairments, the general field of inclusive design research strives to relate the capabilities of the population to the design of products, services, and spaces.CWUAAT has always had a successful multidisciplinary focus, but if genuine transdisciplinary fields are to evolve from this, the final barriers to integrated research must be identified and characterised.Only then will benefits be realised in an inclusive society.Barriers do not arise from impairments themselves, but instead, are erected by humans, who often have not considered a greater variation in sensory, cognitive and physical user capabilities.Barriers are not only technical or architectural, but they also exist between different communities of professionals.Our continual goal with the CWUAAT workshop series is to break down barriers in technical, physical, and architectural design, as well as barriers between different professional communities.

How can accessibility be ensured in music?
Accessibility in music can be ensured by making sure that music venues and events are physically accessible to people with disabilities, such as providing ramps, elevators, and designated seating areas. Additionally, providing sign language interpreters, captioning, and audio descriptions can make music performances more accessible to people with hearing or visual impairments. Making music available in alternative formats, such as braille or large print, can also increase accessibility for individuals with visual impairments. Furthermore, creating inclusive and diverse music programming that represents a wide range of cultures and musical styles can ensure that people from all backgrounds feel included and represented in the music industry.

Belonging (Lifebuilder Bible Study) : Accessibility, Inclusion and Christian Community
God created all of us to be in relationship with him and with each other.Yet for those with disabilities, attitudes and systems of ableism create barriers to fully participating in God's kingdom work, as well as leading to deep hurt – and when any members of the body of Christ are not included, we all miss out. In Belonging, Deborah Abbs guides us through nine Bible studies on inclusion.Exploring the deep love and acceptance of our heavenly Father, she shows us what that means for offering love and acceptance to one another.In both Old and New Testament stories and teachings on Christian community we see how God responds in love to those who are often marginalized and excluded. In turn, through these examples and lessons we can see the importance of disability inclusion in church and learn to welcome people of all different abilities. Part of the LifeBuilder Bible Studies series, Belonging features questions that can be used both individually or in small groups.It is a brilliant resource for anyone wanting to understand Biblical teaching on inclusion and acceptance better, and for those wanting to make their church a more welcoming place for those with disabilities.

Accessible Filmmaking : Integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process
Translation, accessibility and the viewing experience of foreign, deaf and blind audiences has long been a neglected area of research within film studies.The same applies to the film industry, where current distribution strategies and exhibition platforms severely underestimate the audience that exists for foreign and accessible cinema.Translated and accessible versions are usually produced with limited time, for little remuneration, and traditionally involving zero contact with the creative team.Against this background, this book presents accessible filmmaking as an alternative approach, integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process through collaboration between translators and filmmakers.The book introduces a wide notion of media accessibility and the concepts of the global version, the dubbing effect and subtitling blindness.It presents scientific evidence showing how translation and accessibility can impact the nature and reception of a film by foreign and sensory-impaired audiences, often changing the film in a way that filmmakers are not always aware of.The book includes clips from the award-winning film Notes on Blindness on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal, testimonies from filmmakers who have adopted this approach, and a presentation of the accessible filmmaking workflow and a new professional figure: the director of accessibility and translation.This is an essential resource for advanced students and scholars working in film, audiovisual translation and media accessibility, as well as for those (accessible) filmmakers who are not only concerned about their original viewers, but also about those of the foreign and accessible versions of their films, who are often left behind.
