According to the United States Census Bureau "About 1 in 8 Americans were elderly in 1994, but about 1 in 5 would be elderly by the year 2030."The good news is that the oldsters, those Baby Boomers born between 1946 and 1964, and their children the Millenials, want the same things in their living environments: more open green space and easy access to shopping.
Many cities are retrofitting their communities to accommodate the aging population: installing more benches, using idle school buses to take seniors shopping, building age friendly accommodations into city planning and redesigning city zoning codes to integrate the needs of the elderly.
