INCLUSIVE DESIGN IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO.

INCLUSIVE DESIGN IS A PROCESS, AN APPROACH, AND A WAY FORWARD.

Inclusive Design practices are a set of methodologies to create products, services and systems that understand and enable people of all backgrounds and abilities to thrive.

BECOME A LOCAL LEADER IN INCLUSIVE DESIGN

In support of our goal to be a global leader in inclusive design, we develop and share resources and tools for you—our members, partners, and communities.

Our Guide for Working with the Community is a great place to start. In it, you’ll learn more about how to work with residents and community members to develop inclusive solutions where you live.

Detroit’s UNESCO City of Design designation comes to life through the work of local partners who are already incorporating the practice of inclusive design in projects that:

Develop TALENT that is representative of the diversity of our community and create opportunities that encourage people to strengthen or establish roots in Detroit.

INVEST in Detroit’s design businesses and resources to advance design-driven industries, especially in ways that develop the practice of inclusive design.

Promote POLICIES that embrace inclusive design to inform how the city looks and works and raises awareness of the value of inclusive design and its tangible impact in Detroit.
