I'm working on a video discussing the pretty significant difference in Universal Design standards between the USA/Canada and European countries (i.e. accessibility laws and standards and how that impacts the urban environment/architecture).
Something I noticed right away when I moved to Germany was how much less inclusive design was for those with disabilities. Outside historical buildings (which of course, have their own challenges in adapting to modern design regulations), even more modern structures (i.e. the Hauptbahnhof) were extraordinarily difficult to navigate.
Of course, I can talk about this topic as someone in the design industry - but I would love to talk to others who have a lived experience with a disability and navigating life in Europe. If you are comfortable being on camera and live in the Freiburg area (100km radius) and/or can jump on a video call which I can record and share in a video - please reach out to me at:

I need your help on an upcoming video!
