The state and challenges of ‘inclusive’ parks

In recent years, creating places and playgrounds in urban parks by the name of ‘inclusive’ is a common movement. However, as there are no clear definitions of the term ‘inclusive’ the initiatives of local authorities and others are currently being promoted on a trial-and-error basis.

In the seminar, the future of inclusive-orientated playgrounds was discussed through sharing trends and issues carried out in Japan. Based on the idea that the value of a park is to be used and should adjust to the needs and changes. It is important that both constructors and users mutually understand the current situations and needs.
