The purpose of this article is to understand the challenge that architecture has in this new era to create spaces that are fully accessible and suitable for everyone’s enjoyment.To talk of inclusive cities is to talk of autonomy, security and above all of appropriation of public space; much more, in a world where the incorporation of people with disabilities into the working environment and social life is gradually increasing, which means that adequate urban and architectural spaces are required to guarantee the satisfaction of the needs that come with the various disabilities, benefiting the entire conglomerate and allowing for greater social inclusion; so that people with disabilities can live independently and fully participate in all aspects of life.

Palabras clave : Physical environment; disability; inclusion; architectural barriers; urban environment..
