m² and the non-governmental organization ‘Coalition for Independent Life’ have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation. As a result of this Memorandum, the company becomes the first developer in the country to elaborate and introduce a universal design, in the form of adopted standards which are in concordance with all existing norms. This enables m² to meet all necessary requirements for the people with physical disabilities while planning construction projects. The abovementioned plan allows planning the residential and commercial areas in such a way that they avoid any obstacles and maximize adaptation opportunities for any person.
In the process of elaborating the plan, the ‘Coalition for Independent Life’, having extensive experience of work with people with physical disabilities, will conduct consultations to the developing company m². The plan will be based on the adopted by UN, December 13, 2006, ‘Convention on the Protection of the Right of People with Physical Disabilities’, which envisions the provision of all necessary measures for people with physical disabilities with the aim to assist their independent life and full participation in all spheres. The abovementioned plan will be drawn up as a manual and any architectural company will be able to use it. The plan will be suitable for premises as well as for the yard and interiors. The plan will also include the designing of bathrooms, switches, doors and other interior elements, adapted for people with physical disabilities.

‘The Coalition for Independent Life’ will also carry out monitoring of the new construction projects of the company m² within the process of construction and its completion. Upon completion of the construction, the complex will be awarded a certificate on complete adaptation of conditions for people with physical disabilities.

The aim of m², in the frames of current and future projects, is to ensure the establishment of comfortable, healthy and safe environment including the adaptation of the environment for people with physical disabilities. In the frames of social responsibility, the company m2 has already financed a complete adaptation of Vazha-Pshavela Avenue in Tbilisi for people with physical disabilities, by installing a total of 183 ramps. Other 107 ramps were installed on Kazbegi Avenue. The execution of the given projects became possible with the support of ‘The Tree of Life’ fund.
