Communities built for everyone offer a wide range of affordable and accessible housing that allows people to age in place and encourages social interaction between all of its citizens. The keys to a walkable community for everyone are safe and secure paths and trails, commitment to transit, mixed land use (employment, education, shopping, food, public services, health care), and recreation opportunities.
This approach is being adopted by a number or communities around the world. However, concepts of universal design and seamless networks have not been a part of the equation. We bring our best practices into the planning process to ensure that standards are exceeded.
