| Annotation | Most cities, counties, and neighbourhoods in the United States are not designed for an ageing population. By providing a range of services to all residents, Lifelong Communities allow individuals to age in place. Although the Lifelong Communities Initiative is based on established guiding principles, little information exists regarding the realities of moving from policy to implementation. The Atlanta Regional Commission conducted a case study in Mableton, Georgia, and found that successful implementation requires a combination of support from local citizen groups and government. The Atlanta Regional Commission is replicating these best practices in other communities, and providing support to those aspiring to launch or expand Lifelong Communities. (RH). |
