urban development
Entre fascination pour le progrès technique et déceptions de certains usagers, plusieurs processus présentés permettent de comprendre comment certaines réalisations, qui visent l'accessibilité pour tous ou l'adaptabilité à certaines formes de handicaps, se diffusent tandis que d'autres restent peu présentes et peu usitées.

Many thanks in advance for any ideas!

they form the basic premises/elements of case in favour of something
