Abstract

- This chapter summarizes my doctoral thesis about Universal Design (UD) in Sweden, contributing knowledge about the understanding, implementation, and co-creation of UD. The implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Sweden made UD a guiding principle, necessitating research about the practical side of UD. Using qualitative research methods, interviews and group discussions were conducted and participant observation was made in three urban development projects. The understanding of UD was multifaceted: an ethical principle for inclusion of diversity, a vision of an inclusive society, and a unifying of policy perspectives. Participants emphasized flexibility, predictability, and personalized support. UD was linked to accessibility and thus became part of a rationalistic planning model with accessibility as a separate and target group-oriented interest with a focus on regulatory compliance. I conceptualized accessibility as place: planning and control in the present - and UD as space: future possibilities for innovation. When contextualized locally, UD practice will exhibit diverse expressions. Collaboration between municipalities and local disability organizations was formal and established. Different conditions and expectations created tensions about roles and interpretation of disability experience: as information to facilitate processes or part of negotiations to influence outcomes. However, there were conditions for co-creation.
