Abstract
The theme of inclusion falls within the global contemporary framework of political, social and economic strategies. In Europe, the European Commis-sion frames it in the broader framework of the Green Deal (COM2019, 640 final - A New European Bauhaus, 2020 - European Pillar of Social Rights, 2017), in relation to researches and experimentations of innovative solu-tions for the sustainable development and inclusive growth, and, in particu-lar, for the enhancement of local resources and the improvement for all of the opportunities for accessibility to products, services and the built envi-ronment. Actually, the wider theme of accessibility already has a history of its own, which has developed over the last few decades, and which has seen the development of different approaches which, starting from even different assumptions, cultural contexts and philosophical principles, they focus on the goal of increasing the accessibility of environments, products and sys-tems for as many individuals as possible. This contribution aims to inves-tigate the different concepts used to define accessibility, also through a his-torical excursus, to highlight points of contact and differences between the different approaches of design for inclusion.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
