Lifetime Neighbourhoods: Practice Examples

This summary describes the key elements that make up a lifetime neighbourhood, and sets out how individual residents, communities, local government, practitioners, councillors, the voluntary sector and the private sector can become involved and contribute to the development of lifetime neighbourhoods. It also includes a checklist which sets out a range of issues that residents might want to consider as part of a community planning processes and the development of neighbourhood plans. It aims to focus thinking about how well the design of neighbourhoods and access to services work for different groups within neighbourhoods and to prompt reflection on the kind of issues that residents may want to consider in terms of how neighbourhoods and services might need to look in response to a growing older population in coming decades.
