Design guidance
Committed to maximising the accessibility of our research, we think it essential that our findings are useful and usable. This is why we have created a suite of design guidance documents for policy makers, planning departments and professionals, urban designers and architects, service providers and older people themselves. We are proud that our practical toolkits are, collectively, one of only two such resources cited by the World Health Organization in its international guide to creating Global Age-Friendly Cities (2007).They complement wider UK policy and guidance, including the Department for Transport’s Manual for Streets (2007), CIHT’s Manual for Streets 2: Wider Application of the Principles (2010) and the Scottish Government’s Designing Streets (2010).
