Age-Friendly Neighbourhood Planning and Design Guidelines: A
Singapore Case Study provides evidence-based research and examples
of existing good practices on health-enabling, age-friendly
neighbourhood provision. These relate to the planning and design of
outdoor spaces and enabling opportunities for active, healthy
ageing. Importantly, our research prioritises the need to engage
with older people when creating neighbourhood environments that
contribute to healthy ageing in place.The book and its
supplementary toolkits touches on 3 main stages of age-friendly
neighbourhood project - planning (environmental audit),
implementation (planning and design guidelines) and evaluation of
progress made (post-implementation review). We hope that these
materials will contribute to the ongoing discourse of how to
(re)envision urban neighbourhoods to enhance health and quality of
life as people age. Needless to say, they do not supersede but
support existing guidelines or regulations to improve everyday
neighbourhood environment for healthy ageing in place.Co-creation
with older people is a central tenet of our research on ageing
urbanism at the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities. The Lee
Li Ming Programme in Ageing Urbanism conducts applied research on
built environment and health of ageing population, arguing for a
more integrated environmental, social and spatial approach to
identify the connection between the built environment, health and
quality of life that can inform the design for age-friendly
neighbourhoods and communities.
