Over the next 20 years, there is projected to be a rapid acceleration in the older population of cities, both internationally and in the UK. As a result, is it vitally important that the diverse needs and aspirations of older people are fully considered in the planning, design and delivery of new residential developments. This guide offers a list of ‘age-friendly’ considerations that architects, planners and developers should consider when creating new or retrofit urban developments, ensuring we are producing places where everyone can age in place for generations to come.
