This edited collection investigates the complex relationship between disability, social policy, and spatial geography, arguing that policy and law function as spatial phenomena that dictate where disabled people can exist. The text challenges traditional views by exploring how urban design, transportation systems, and legal frameworks can create environments of either inclusion or "landscapes of exclusion." Specific case studies analyze how restrictive sexual offense laws in Ireland and austerity-driven welfare reforms in the UK and Australia diminish the autonomy and selfhood of disabled individuals. By examining the material and symbolic ways spaces are constructed, the researchers highlight the ongoing tension between protective state oversight and the promotion of individual rights and choice. Ultimately, the work advocates for a radical politics of space that recognizes the normalcy of impairment and facilitates greater participation for disabled people in all areas of life.
