Designing with Disabled Experience

Designing with Disabled Experience is one of the Mayor of London‘s Good Growth by Design handbooks - launched in 2025.

Led by our very own Advisory Board members Jordan Whitewood-Neal and James Zatka-Haas of Dis Collective - alongside with a series of Disabled creatives - the piece speaks about the importance of including the disabled experience in the design process and showcases best practice examples. In order to capture the breadth of experience of Disabled people, it takes a purposefully wide definition of disability.

Chapters inside include:

  • Why designing with disability matters

  • Principles, Practice

  • Further Resources

  • And case studies throughout, such as our very own Compendium: Many More Parts than M!

As with the GLA’s previous ‘The Supporting Diversity Handbook’ - which DisOrdinary Architecture was also included in, this piece is a tool for advocacy and action that sits under the ‘Setting standards and informing delivery’ pillar of the Good Growth by Design programme
