This book, Design for Sustainable Inclusion, was inspired and informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These include, among others, ‘good health and well-being’, ‘reduced inequalities’ and ‘sustainable cities and communities’. Addressing this challenge requires a cross-disciplinary approach and close collaboration with many stakeholders. The Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) 2023 invited participants from a wide variety of disciplines to contribute to the discussion on this topic.This book represents the papers presented at this conference, chosen by peer review by an international panel of currently active researchers. The chapters within the book provide a unique insight into current national and international research in the fields of inclusive design, universal access, and assistive and rehabilitative technology. The main sections of the book reflect the following key themes:•Understanding people•Designing for an ageing population•Inclusive built environments•Healthcare•Assistive technology•Design methods•Education and trainingWe hope that this book will be useful to researchers, teachers, students and the general public who are interested in inclusive design and sustainable development.

This book presents papers from the 12th Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT 2025), to be held in April 2025. This workshop series has hosted the multifaceted dialogue on design for inclusion since 2002, involving disciplines including design, computer science, engineering, architecture, ergonomics and human factors, policy and gerontology. The conference theme for 2025 is New frontiers for inclusion. The major themes dealt with in this collection include:Understanding peopleDesigning for an ageing populationDesigning for particular needsDesigning inclusive environmentsNew challenges and opportunitiesthe possibilities and challenges for inclusive design offered by AI and other emerging technologies.With its thematic wealth, this proceedings provides a unique insight into the current national and international research in the fields of inclusive design, universal access, and assistive and rehabilitative technology.
