What is Age Friendly?

An age-friendly world enables people of all ages to actively participate in community activities and treats everyone with respect, regardless of their age. It is a place that makes it easy for older people to stay connected to people that are important to them.

The following 8-Domains of Livability are used as framework to determine Age Friendly Communities:

Outdoor Spaces and Building
Transportation
Housing
Social Participation
Respect and Social Inclusion
Civic Participation and Employment
