I think it is a question of urban planning. Neighbourhoods have to be tailored for seniors. That means having stores nearby and good lighting, as well as easy access for people in wheelchairs or who use a cane or walker. Even today, some stores still have a step that has to be climbed to enter. The print size on messages also has to be visible, such as the opening hours. Everything has to be examined so seniors feel as comfortable as possible in their communities. That includes safety as well as various other factors.
There was a program called Women in Cities International, through which we took some very interesting exploratory walks. We walked through neighbourhoods with seniors. There were selection criteria, such as lighting and safety, and we then adapted the environment according to their recommendations. It was a very interesting program.
