How does detailed design support wellbeing for people living with dementia?

Detailed design ensures a high-quality, accessible built environment. Detailed design features can be fun, playful, and practical at the same time—for example, seating, public art, and placemaking help create memorable places and offer opportunities to spark a conversation with a stranger. Comfortable, safe design features help people feel at ease and enjoy staying in a space longer.
