Sustainable planning for housing in an Ageing Society - guide for regional level strategies

A guide for use in the development of regional housing and spatial strategies, to complement 'Lifetime homes, Lifetime Neighbourhoods: A National Strategy for Housing in an Ageing Society'. It aims to assist regional strategy makers in understanding the relevance of housing and the built environment to health, social care and wider social and economic sustainability in the context of an ageing population. It will also be of interest to those who wish to lobby regional or local strategies to take better account of the impact of housing on older people's wellbeing.

Published jointly by ILC-UK, Communities and Local Government, the Housing LIN and the Retirement Housing Group, February 2008. The guide comes in two formats, a pocket-sized A6 pamphlet and a larger, more accessible A4 online pdf. Both are available free of charge.
