520 _aExamines the attitudes of property developers towards people with disabilities and how this affects the design and development of the built environment and consequently access. Also considered are the heterogeneity of developers' responses to those needs; the significance of statutory and other legal controls and their interpretation; and the role of consultation and participation. Concludes that property developers have little knowledge or understanding of, or even interest in, the needs of people with disabilities; that, whilst regulations ensure a minimum standard, the fact that few clients and occupiers demand accessible building means that those needs are rarely met; and that the regulatory processes need to interlink more effectively if the barriers to fully inclusive design and developments are to be overcome.
