As a disability inclusion innovator having delivered global urban research projects, Amanprit shared insightful inclusive research guidance and offered actionable strategies to help build more inclusive research processes and outputs.
To drive meaningful impact and innovation, you need to make your research inclusive. It ensures that all voices, particularly those from underrepresented groups, are heard and valued throughout the research process. This effective inclusive approach leads to more accurate and comprehensive findings and more impactful co-design.

Show Up For Success
Amanprit was the keynote speaker at the Show Up for Success. A cross-sector event involving The Lab E20, Newham Council, Kind At Heart CIC, RAEBURN and Get Living. Her talk, “Disability & Design in London’s Newest Eastbank Cultural Quarter” highlighted the importance of disability-inclusive design in urban development.
She emphasised compelling data on disability and the economic potential of the ‘Purple Pound’ in cities, showcasing DeafCity Hub as a leading example of how accessible design accelerates inclusion in place, urban design and cultural expression.
Show Up For Success’ mission, through co-creation is to develop and scale a place-based platform and programme for young people with disabilities in Newham, who wish to excel in careers in creative industries and hospitality. Amanprit shared her personal career journey, offering insights into system change, workplace challenges, barriers and opportunities. Her insights underscored the importance of upskilling, reskilling, and enhancing accessibility to foster talent retention and inclusion in the workplace, and urban spaces alike.
We delivered a Public Realm Inclusive Environments CPD to Publica, educating participants to critically evaluate design and create inclusive public spaces through a disability-inclusion lens.

Publica Public Realm CPD
The festival, curated in partnership with Hackney Council and the WHO’s World Hearing Forum, highlights the global importance of addressing hearing wellness and noise sensitivity. Souwd Affects with Hackney aims to establish the UK’s first audio-inclusive borough, demonstrating a commitment to health and accessibility, removing noise pollution by piloting five venues to become audio-inclusive for all.
Did you know that a staggering 30% of people are noise-sensitive? This includes individuals who are Deaf, hard of hearing, neurodivergent (such as ADHD or autism), over 50, or simply have hearing challenges.
Amanprit spoke on the economic potential of creating accessible, inclusive environments on the high street and in the wider built environment - particularly in creating audio-inclusive music events and spaces in our city.
