These are the signs of a city that is inaccessible to itsdifferently-abled inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>Most cities in the United States lack handicap-accessible facilities. This prevents the country's differently-abled population from benefiting from the unparalleled wealth of opportunities the major U.S. cities have to offer. The issue impacts people with disabilities everywhere in theworld who are unable to go where they need to because the roads and other infrastructure cannot be accessed by wheelchair or scooters.<\/p>\n<p>After the implementation of the America Disabilities Act, most parking structures include disabled parking spots and some sidewalks and buildings were installed with ramps for wheelchairs. But there hasn't been any significant change in the infrastructure of most cities which makes them disabled-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, people with disabilities continue to face barriers in their everyday lives and suffer from poor quality of life. As the world population continues to increase and the number of persons with disabilities continues to rise, removing the physical barriers and making the cities more accessible has become more important than ever.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_media_grid element_width=\"2\" grid_id=\"vc_gid:1611132871440-bee57737-7271-0\" include=\"859,862,863,408,405,861\"][vc_column_text]At Disability Inclusive Development Programs And Services, we are working towards the cities of the future by making them easier to navigate by a person with physical and mental disabilities.
