Abstract
The work is devoted to the application of the universal design principles (UDP) in design of the street and urban road environment improvement. The authors suggested a new method of street and urban roads improvement elements placing on the basis of spatial corridor principle modeling. This method ensures the implementation of seven principles of universal design: equitable use; flexibility in use; simple and intuitive use; perceptible information; tolerance for error; low physical effort; size and space for approach and use. To apply the proposed method, street and urban roads beautification elements have been distributed by importance level into four groups and elements of each level have been placed in defined spatial corridor. Authors have designed the examples of application of the UDP in the street and urban road environment improvement and examples of inclusive street and urban road environment formation based on the principles of universal design by suggested method.
