Abstract:
Navigating a city can be difficult for the blind as many cities are not easy for them to navigate. With Durham’s recent development, the opportunity is there to design a downtown that is blind-friendly. The challenges of navigating Durham as a vision-impaired individual are documented along with a map that was designed to aid the vision-impaired and raise awareness of their challenges. The map, photographs of difficult obstacles, and personal testimony is included.
