    Abstract
    We are now familiar with the application of new urbanism in residential developments in Canada. As a model, new urbanism recognizes the need to provide communities that support aging in place. Developments based on the model, however, have not adequately addressed needs for barrier-free and affordable housing, and access to services. At the same time, new urbanism incorporates an approach to planning communities that is end-design driven, and promotes the collaboration of all interested parties to make it happen - an approach that can provide the basis for planning communities that facilitate aging in place.
     
    Nous sommes maintenant accoutumés avec le nouvel urbanisme qui a été mis de l'avant dans l'aménagement d'ensembles résidentiels au Canada. Ce modèle tient compte du besoin de créer des communautés qui encouragent le vieillissement chez soi. Les aménagements qui utilisent ce modèle n'offrent cependant pas toujours des logements abordables d'accès facile ou les services appropriés. Le nouvel urbanisme encourage un aménagement communautaire coopératif, axé sur les résultats, ce qui pourrait faciliter la création de communautés faisant la promotion du vieillissement chez soi.
