Hong Kong's accessibility for the disabled / Mental health ahead of HKDSE results

On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about accessibility for people with disabilities. 

Speaking at the All@Hong Kong Symposium to Foster an Inclusive Smart City, Equal Opportunities Commission Chairperson Linda Lam urged different stakeholders to play their part in making infrastructure more inclusive, citing an increase in demand for barrier-free facilities amid an ageing population.

The conference comes as the EOC increases its efforts to promote universal design and remove remaining hurdles. 

City planners have largely welcomed the body's suggestions, while pointing out that some of the territory's geological features cause constraints. 

How does Hong Kong compare to the rest of the world?
