North America's love affair with the car shaped much of the infrastructure built by cities in the post-Second World War period. For example, suburbs with no sidewalks and shopping malls you had to drive to. While that may have been great as the baby boom arrived, it turns out not to be quite as functional for this huge cohort as they age. And that's led to questions about building "age-friendly communities." The Agenda discusses what they may look like and who's going to build them.

Dr. Samir Sinha
Provincial Lead for the Ontario Seniors' Strategy and Co-Chair of the Toronto Seniors' Accountability Table
