Walkers, Rollers – Designing for Health & Aging

We are living longer and our infrastructure needs for healthy living are changing. Think inclusive places for active seniors, physical rehab treatment, aging and infirm. It’s no longer just ADA, wheelchair accommodations and tactile treatments for the impaired. Equitable access means benches on shaded walks, bridges for physiotherapy, programmed public spaces, social inclusion, housing, health and community services. Hear about the broader aging-in-place strategies supporting the health-impacted but also more active senior population seeking parks, trails, community gathering spaces and even high amenities when competing for “patients”. Senior cycling clubs give a different meaning to riding off into the sunset.
