Featured project
Circus Grey Peru joined forces with Cemento Sol and the Miraflores District Municipality to revamp the sidewalks in Lima municipality by installing a system of tactile tiles. These tiles enable visually impaired individuals to navigate with complete autonomy. It's an innovative system developed and co-created with associations dedicated to the visually impaired in Peru, expanding on and improving the existing signage system present in major cities worldwide. In Peru, visual impairment is the most prevalent physical disability. However, the lack of inclusive urban development forces those affected to rely on constant assistance to locate basic services and nearby businesses. Thanks to the development and implementation of this new urban signage system, visually impaired individuals navigating the Miraflores district now have a simple system of signs installed on cement tiles along the sidewalks. This system helps them identify essential services and places like restaurants, banks, convenience stores, or pharmacies by touching the tiles and counting the lines with their canes. This marks a significant change that permanently improves mobility in one of Lima's most important districts, the most visited by tourists, providing greater independence and autonomy to this population and making the Peruvian capital a more inclusive city. Carlos Canales, the mayor of Miraflores, commented on the project: "With this initiative, we continue the work started 20 years ago to make Miraflores more inclusive. We aim to remain the most inclusive district in Peru, based on the support and policies of our administration to include people with disabilities and provide solutions. Thanks to Cemento Sol, who approached us some time ago, this project is now a reality."
