Partners for livable communities in cooperation with the MetLife Foundation have identified 11 core components planners can consider to make their town a place where seniors want to grow old. Core component number 10 is Local Leadership and Policies:
Local leadership strives to promote interaction between all generations
Local leadership understands that universal design concepts not only aide a specific demographic, but the community as a whole.
The local government acts as a advocate and catalyst for developing partnerships, new programs and systems to engage older adults
Local leadership actively harnesses the talent, wisdom and experience of older adults to contribute to the community at large.
The focus is consistently on connections. Planning for the maturing of the community involves facilitating the programs that involve both public and private participants in a structure that supports the ability of elders to live independently and contribute to the community for as long as possible.
