Pathways of Inclusion : Empowering our Aging Community

This design project aims to revolutionize the neighborhood layout, specifically tailored to enhance the lives of senior citizens and reduce their reliance on external assistance for daily necessities. Focused on addressing existing site challenges, the design will center on user needs, implementing inclusive features like benches, ramps, and clear signage to promote accessibility and safety. The integration of communal spaces will foster social interaction, nurturing a sense of community and independence. By adopting a holistic approach that seamlessly intertwines these elements, the goal is to create a self-sufficient and supportive environment that empowers the elderly to thrive independently within their neighborhood.
