ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL
“Our country is aging. By 2034, there will be more people over 65 than under age 18 for the first time ever,” said Danielle Arigoni, AARP Director of Livable Communities.
“That’s a significant
demographic. It calls out to ask the question, are we ready? The answer is most
communities are not ready.”
“Most are not designing for older adults,” she continued, noting increased rent burden, a paucity of public transit and the lack of housing accessible to people with disabilities as major issues.
There are a number of people who want to stay in their communities, but
don’t feel they are able to.”
