During the 2022 NADO Annual Training Conference, Rebecca Delphia presented on AARP Livable Communities' work with state and local leaders to design communities for people of all ages.
The Livability Economy - People, Places and ProsperityAllyson Brunette
Livable Communities provide a host of advantages that enhance the quality of life of residents, the economic prospects of businesses and the bottom lines of governments. The Livability Economy shows how livability initiatives contribute to improved economic performance and a more vibrant, desirable and competitive environment for housing and commercial investment. This workshop focuses on design factors that feature livability outcomes that benefit older adults and people of all ages. Examples of some of the most common tools and treatments for creating age-friendly environments will be presented — from the least-expensive, short-term wins to dramatic changes and long-term initiatives. All of the proposed transformations are expected to create a return on investment by increasing business income, property values and new development; decreasing vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries and fatalities; reducing medical costs; and improving air quality and overall public health. In addition, AARP’s new tool, the “Livability Index” will be presented which measures the quality of life in American communities across multiple dimensions: housing, transportation, neighborhood characteristics, environment, health, opportunity, and civic and social engagement.

Growth: What our region thinks and how we need to talk about itGene Duvernoy
Gene Duvernoy, President of Forterra, presents hot-off-the-press findings from research by a national research firm, designed to help our region’s leaders create communications that meaningfully speak to people’s values and priorities thereby compelling them to care more, invest more and act more in issues of smart growth and healthy density in our region.

Designing Homes, Communities and Transit for an Aging Population: AARP will
highlight recent successes in New York communities that help people age in place. Aging in place is the ability to stay in your home and community as long as possible and avoid costly institutions. The three main design features are Complete Streets, Universal Design and Transit Efficient Development. Town, county, state and federal government all have a role to play in helping to shape the future landscape of New York; whether it is our roadways, transit, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, homes with no step entries, and wider doorways. Come hear about how AARP is partnering all over New York and the country to make sure these transformations occur.

Communities seeks to
support state and local
leaders to ensure that
they are designing
communities that work
for people of all ages
by addressing:
“

By 2034,
there will be
more people
over 65 than
under 18 –
for the first
time ever.

Are there adequate housing options
that are affordable, accessible and
varied in type?
Are there opportunities for civic
and social engagement through
volunteerism, work, etc?
Is there adequate, safe and
accessible public space?
Are there ways to remain mobile
once driving is no longer an
option?

Older adults outlive their ability to
drive between 7-10 years.
Older adults represent
disproportionate share of
pedestrian fatalities in 35 states.
Isolation and loneliness present
health risks equivalent to
smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
Isolation is associated with a
50% percent increased risk of
dementia.
Older adults represent more than
20% of population,
but only 4% of park users.
Parks serving people of color are
half the size (and 5x as crowded),
which increases temps. Older
adults represent a disproportionate
share of heat-related deaths.
Over half of all HH are 1- or 2-persons,
but more than 85% of housing stock is 2,
3, 4 or more bedrooms.
The share of 65+ renters who are
rent-burdened increased from
43% in 2001 to 50% in 2015.
Less than 1% of US homes are built
with universal design in mind.
