As Brazil considers the adoption of Universal Design standards for the upcoming World Cup and Olympics, Burton Blatt Institute Chairman Peter Blanck will discuss the standards. Blanck helped to create UD standards, modeled on the green standards for the built environment, designating a level of accreditation for a project based on its usability, safety, health, and inclusiveness. The UD approach advocates that all built environments and products be useable by all people.
