Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some people seek, or naturally find themselves residing in, a livable community. These settings incorporate environmental features that promote accessibility in housing, workplaces, community services, and public buildings. Environmental adaptations make getting around the community by walking or biking easier, increasing the feasibility of enabling residents to become less dependent on cars. A livable community does not have age restrictions and is designed for all ages. A livable community is one that is safe and secure, has affordable and appropriate housing and transportation options, and offers supportive community features and services. Once in place, those resources enhance personal independence; allow residents to age in place; and foster residents' engagement in the community's civic, economic, and social life.
