Thursday, April 2 at 3pm eastern

 

Presenters

Description

Universal design in housing is a design technique which creates a home space for equal access by individuals of all ages and abilities. Such features can be incorporated into private homes and residential facilities to facilitate aging in place and those with disabilities and mobility issues. Similarly, Complete Streets is an approach to transportation planning and policy that considers the needs of all roadway users. This session will look into AARP's approach to Universal Design in housing and transportation and walk through relevant metrics and policies in the AARP Livability Index™ platform, a web-based tool that evaluates the livability of every community in the country.
