CREATING INTERGENERATIONAL COMMUNITIES

MIXING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES IN THEIR LIVING ENVIRONMENT LEADS TO HEALTHIER, MORE FULFILLED, BETTER CONNECTED AND ACTIVE LIFESTYLES


Irv Katz, senior fellow emeritus at Generations United and former president & CEO of the National Human Services Assembly, urged planners to be intentional about creating environments in which young and old connect organically to the benefit of both and benefit to society.

He said it would be great if mayors, planning commissions, county councils, etc., stopped the battle of single-family vs. multifamily zoning and instead focused on a range of housing types that are both affordable and conducive to intergenerational living.
