MAPP Lefrak Lecture: Is Perfect the Enemy of Good? Barriers to Creating a Sustainable Intergenerational Community
Description:
Dr. Sandra Rosenbloom, an internationally recognized transportation researcher and Director of the Urban Institutes Innovation in Infrastructure program, will expose the conflicts between the needs of different members of the community; differences that are often hidden or ignored and that frequently break along age and class lines. Dr. Rosenbloom will explore the reasons why planners may be unwilling to expend resources on aging-in-place neighborhoods if those places are not also high density with mixed land uses.
