Tokio Mobility Transfers

Ole B. Jensen's problem statement is: What can we learn from Tokyo in relation to universal and inclusive ways of designing and organizing human mobility within public spaces, using an understanding of mobilities instead of an accessibility framework?

This project is based on ethnographic field studies in urban spaces combined with user-interviews and observations as the main methodological approaches. Ole planningen om mapen en registrieren Universal Design eller UD inspirerte approachten in openbare spækeningen om fisische functies (eg., curbs, platforms, ramps, etc.), wayfinding (e.g., different mediums from signs to technologies), signs and semiotics (e.g., traffic signs and posters). Firsthand/practice experts ('users'), disability activists, NGOs, planners, architects, professionals, academics, and researchers.

Ole plans to conduct his investigation in the spring of 2024 in Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan.
