DESCRIPTION:The Disability & Law Initiative invites you to their first even
 t this year\, which will explore disability in the built environment throu
 gh planning\, design and public policy through the theme Disability\, Incl
 usion and Integration in Big Cities. For this talk\, our panellists will b
 e 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Law doctoral candidate Stephanie Chipeur\, Jaccède Montréal found
 er Omar Lachleb\, and RAPLIQ president Linda Gauthier.\n\nAbstract\n\nUrba
 nization is currently one of the most important global trends of the 21st 
 century. Urbanization has a great potential to be a great engineer to achi
 eve sustainable and inclusive development for all. About 6.25 billion peop
 le\, 15 per cent of them with disabilities\, are predicted to be living in
  urban centres by 2050.[1] Urban environments\, infrastructures\, faciliti
 es and services\, depending how they are planned and built\, can impede or
  enable access\, participation and inclusion of members of society.\n\nFor
  the 15 per cent of the world’s population who live with a disability\, (m
 any of whom live in urban areas)\, available evidence reveals a widespread
  lack of accessibility to built environments\, from roads and housing\, to
  public buildings and spaces and to basic urban services such as sanitatio
 n and water\, health\, education\, transportation\, and emergency and disa
 ster response and resilience building and access to information and commun
 ications. These accessibility limitations contribute greatly to the disadv
 antage and marginalization faced by persons with disabilities\, leading to
  disproportionate rates of poverty\, deprivation and exclusion. This situa
 tion also impedes the realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Devel
 opment and other internationally agreed development goals.\n\nA request fo
 r accreditation for 1.5 hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) for juri
 sts has been made.\n\n \n
