Below is a list of the hundreds of communities across the nation participating in AARP’s age-friendly livable communities program. With America’s rapidly aging population, it is surprising that more communities have not joined, given the relatively easy process for doing so. To this retired planner, it seems like a program that would help communities attract and retain retirees, while making the community more attractive, safe, and livable to residents of all ages.
