I wonder which category this belongs in?
Life in a wheelchair certainly makes you notice steps, narrow pathways, and steepnesses around the city ... make that the world! (Not to mention that wheelchair loos are often few and far between.)
Maybe I'm just a spoilt babyboomer, who wants open access everywhere just like before the wheelie thing. But I also think that accessibility creates good design for everyone, including kids, mums with prams, and anyone a bit wobbly on their feet.
And hands up who hasn't been so drunk they battered and bruised themselves falling up/down stairs!

I often think of how the wheelchair bound people, also prams, motorised vehicles & push thingos get by. We take it for granted that as single aisle one can get through, but any wider it is limited at times. I thought that loos had to have a disabled one now, if you find otherwise, pls complain to the powers that be in that area. You are not asking too much just speaking for all others in this situation. Access should be a priority when planning any area.
