This document sets out the importance of diversity in design.
It provides the background to the aims and objectives of this web-based design resource.
Feedback from users of buildings or transport often highlights instances of poor design. Rather than yet again repeating the use of prescriptive standards and settling for a poor basic compliance, this guide goes back a stage and sets out the simple principle of the need to reflect the diversity of the users of a building and to consult people to find out their needs. It promotes the need to have multi user buildings or places rather than the more common multi-use spaces.
