About these guidelines
Globally, at least 50 million people live with dementia—a number that is expected to triple by 2050. People living with dementia have specific needs in navigating their neighbourhoods, which are often not captured by broader age-friendly design guidelines. This document offers a toolkit of urban design strategies and actions that municipalities, developers, and other community members can implement to create more dementia-friendly cities. These planning and design strategies have the power to improve urban environments and wellbeing for all community members by boosting comfort, safety, inclusion, and sense of place.
