Disability and the Built Environment: Analytical Study of Public Buildings in Prishtina

Abstract

Every sector of society and government should offer a barrier-free access. Local governments should set an example by providing full physical access to public buildings they administer. The benefits of providing access to these buildings are substantial to empowering all citizens regardless of age, gender, ability and financial situation. The built environment in Kosovar cities continues to be extensively inaccessible for people with disabilities.
