Glasgow Access Panel - Improving Access For All

Inclusive Public Space project

Glasgow Access Panel were delighted to contribute to this research on the accessibility of public streets. The first phase of the IPS project ran from January 2019 to June 2025, focusing on India, Kenya, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA. The project was based at the University of Leeds and aimed to raise awareness and understanding of the types of problems faced by disabled and older people, and how these affect their lives.

Glasgow Access Panel assisted in the project by capturing video of typical journeys disabled people take in their everyday lives, using documentary style and VR footage. An example video from Glasgow can be viewed on the IPS website here.
