| The Government ensures all new and existing buildings undergoing major upgrading are accessible to people with disability. To enhance inter-connectivity of the built environment, the Government put in place a masterplan to upgrade existing public buildings, public housing estates and infrastructures including transport nodes to be barrier-free by 2011.
The Government has incorporated the requirement on the provisions of facilities for people with physical disabilities into the Building Control Regulations. Under the Regulations, all new buildings, which people with disability are reasonably expected to have access to, are required to be designed in accordance with the Code on Barrier-free Accessibility in Buildings to facilitate access to and use of the new buildings and their facilities by people with disabilities.
