Good neighbourhood design benefits everyone
While there are unique design considerations for people living with dementia, it is important to emphasize that dementia-inclusive neighbourhoods offer universal benefits for everyone. The strategies and actions in these design guidelines—such as improving pedestrian paths, crosswalks, and placemaking—can improve streets and public spaces for all community members.
In particular, the guidelines in these learning modules can significantly benefit people such as:
-
Older adults
-
People with disabilities
-
People with cognitive impairments
-
Children
-
People who do not speak or read English
-
People who are neurodivergent
