Partners for livable communities with the cooperation of the MetLife Foundation have identifed 11 core components planners can focus on to make their city a place where seniors want to grow old. Number 9 is Design and Planning.
Zoning requirements, subdivision regulations or building codes promote a variety of senior housing options.
Planners understand how to develop supporting regulation for shared housing, accessorized apartments, assisted living, temporary housing.
Community design and zoning requirements promote development and design standards that facilitate the infrastructure and business model to accomidate a walking population.
