How do planners create livable, age-friendly communities? What role does gender play when creating and implementing these plans? This session will focus on the results of the “Planning through a Gender Lens: Inclusive Planning for Aging and Livable Communities” research study, a collaboration between Dr. Mildred Warner of the Cornell University Women’s Planning Forum and APA’s Planning and Women Division. Research was funded by a grant from the APA Divisions Council.

 

Recognizing that the realities of women’s day-to-day lives have major implications for the planning field, the key aim of the research was to gather information about the extent to which planners consider gender in their practice, considered in the context of well-established planning practices for aging communities. This session will explore those questions and the results of the survey, and frame the implications and opportunities for planners in their everyday practice.
