Warner, M.E. and Zhang X., 2021. “Planning Across Generations: Are we making progress?” CSA Journal, 80 (1) : 40-46.

More age friendly communities are needed across America. We compare results from the 2013 and 2019 nationwide Planning Across Generations Surveys of all cities and counties in the U.S. to see how well the country is meeting this goal. This collaborative project between Cornell University and the International City County Management Association shows that age friendly planning is stalled and division within communities is increasing. Solutions require increased engagement of older adults and families with children, cross agency partnerships to address their needs, and professional planning.
