| Annotation | Given that many older adults have a preference for ageing in place, it is important that neighbourhood design supports successful ageing. Design also plays an essential role in supporting social relationships. This American qualitative study aimed to identify New Urbanist neighbourhood and social space design attributes that support older residents' physiological and social needs. This case study used keyword-in-context analysis with focus group interview data, to identify domains supporting social interaction for residents ageing in place including: location factors, social factors, design factors, and programmatic factors.
