Public Space Accessibility

Our initiatives involve participating in projects that adapt public spaces —such as parks, streets, and buildings—to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. By making these spaces more accessible and user-friendly, we enhance community engagement and ensure that everyone can enjoy public amenities.
