AARP recently announced that Cincinnati has joined its network of cities and states that are age-friendly, and working to improve life for all their citizens.
The aim of the network is to help those that join make their communities better for all people, no matter their age. The network provides resources to help officials find ways to increase residents' opportunities to take part in activities in the community; enable them to obtain vital services easily; offer a greater variety of transportation and housing options; and create more walkable, safer streets.
To help Cincinnati with these goals, AARP will share the information and resources it has, including what it's learned about best practices that are already established with regard to aging and disabilities. Some of the information that Cincinnati will be able to access will include that from other cities in the network, everywhere in the world. Cities that undertake measures like this could use graphic design to include the designation on official their materials.
Barbara A. Sykes, the state director for AARP, said that livable communities, well-designed, are good for everyone, since their residents tend to be happier, and they often enjoy robust economic growth. P.G. Sittenfeld, a member of the city council, says that seniors deserve to enjoy their later years, and joining the AARP network will help Cincinnati fulfill its promise to them.
