The CHPR publishes new report on land-use planning and community design to address health and housing needs of an ageing population

Land-use planning and community design are often overlooked elements that can help to prevent or mitigate many age-related barriers to impendent living for an ageing population. That is why we are pleased to share that the CHPR have published their new report, Planning Healthy Ageing Communities.

Drawing on the work of Housing for Our Ageing Population: Panel for Innovation (HAPPI) and case study report by the Housing LIN, the report provides an evidence review alongside guidelines, toolkits and interview insights into the health effects of land-use planning and design. The report will help inform and inspire developers, planners, builders, policy makers, and other key stakeholders in the development of innovative healthy aging communities.
