Will Forest City's homes and streets be accessible?

Most of Britain's accessibility problem is the cost of retrofitting old buildings — and in Forest City, we're not adapting anything. We're starting from a blank sheet, so accessibility is being designed into the framework of the city, not bolted on.

Because homes are built at cost through the Community Land Trust, an accessible home won't carry the same premium it does everywhere else.

We're working with disability access experts as part of the masterplanning process to ensure the city is a wonderful place to live for everyone.
