What if understanding disability was also and first of all understanding a certain relationship to space? Although the environment occupies a central position in the new definition of disability, the study of spatial interactions, spaces and space-related practices, only begins to develop in France. The spatial dimension of disability is central to the “Geographies of disability”. This book brings together eight young scholars from various disciplines such as geography, sociology, architecture, or environmental psychology. All chapters explore the notion of space at micro, meso or macro levels. They aim to provide entangled approaches going from space related individual experiences to accessibility policies analysis. This appears necessary within a new model that defines disability as interactive outcome combining impairment, activity limitation and participation restrictions within a specific environment.
