The present work aims to contribute to broadening the discussion of the issue of disability and the city in the spatial dimension. The urban experiences of people with disabilities are the basis for the reflection on the importance of the use and appropriation of urban space, according to the conditions of accessibility and urban mobility, to promote socio-spatial inclusion and the quality of life of this population. The qualitative research carried out with patients with physical disabilities at the Rehabilitation Sarah Hospital, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro in Barra da Tijuca, and with people with visual and hearing impairment, permitted the comparison and evaluation of accessibility conditions of urban space and its effects on people's urban mobility, according to the types of disability considered. The treatment of disability based on the social model allowed the valorization of urban studies related to the question, whose contribution is in the identification of possibilities of socio-spatial inclusion from the use and appropriation of the city space. The results presented showed that the urban experiences of people with disabilities are compromised by the lack of the completed appropriation of the city space, which also affects the autonomy and the quality of life of this population.
