Talk or Interview Experience Innovation: Redefining Accessible Parking Experience & Mobility
Experience Innovation: Redefining Accessible Parking Experience & Mobility, introduces a human-centered digital platform that transforms how individuals with disabilities navigate the challenges of accessible parking. Rooted in inclusive UX design and equity-driven innovation, the project reimagines mobility through intuitive, dignified, and data-informed solutions.
Attendees will explore the research, co-design methods, and prototypes developed to address everyday barriers, such as the scarcity, misuse, and inaccessibility of parking spaces for wheelchair users. The event includes a pre-recorded teaser and a live presentation followed by an open Q&A session.
In alignment with the Design for Impact theme, this experience illustrates how thoughtful design can do more than look good, it can foster autonomy, social inclusion, and systemic change in the built environment.
