Accessible Cities

Interesting piece on accessible cities in the Guardian. The idea of mapping and route-planning by pavement slope is sheer genius for wheelchair users, and the sooner it's adopted by the people doing mapping software the better!

It's not perfect, one section is on a residential community for autistic kids which I'm fairly sure I've seen on The Mighty (alarm bells), which somehow fails to mention the overwhelming majority of people with autism don't need community care, but otherwise it's not bad.
