What is Universal Usability?

 , updated on
Universal usability is the design of things such that they are useful to as many people as possible. For example, a sidewalk may be designed for people with disabilities, baby carriages, bicyclists, commercial deliveries and to protect pedestrians from cars. Universal design is a move away from design for the "average" person by considering a wide variety of diverse use cases.
