The Neurodiverse City was selected as the winner of the 2021 "The Restorative City" Request for Proposals (RFP) organized by the Design Trust for Public Space. Guided by extensive research, public space sensory audits, public surveys, and workshops with neurodivergent children, teenagers, adult self-advocates, as well as families and facilitators, the Neurodiverse City tested two prototypes for neuroinclusive design, a streetscape and playscape. Amassing a wealth of knowledge and lived experience on the disabling and enabling aspects of public spaces, the Neurodiverse City has released this report on learnings, best design practices, and recommendations for future accessibility policy planning.
