Key Points in Planning and Design of Residential Communities Based on All-age Communities

Abstract

Based on the trend of ageing in China and the social background that more and more families have inter-generational parenting, researchers have found that the original community planning and design can hardly meet the needs of people of all ages, especially the old and young, so the concept of all-age communities has been proposed. However, the concept of all-age community is a new and big concept, and there is still a lack of unified perception. Using three residential communities in Guangzhou as objects, this paper investigates the physical and mental characteristics, behavioral characteristics, behavioral needs, spatial location and design of existing communities for the elderly and children through literature research, field surveys, interviews and behavioral observation to explore design strategies for all-age communities, which are important for improving the quality of life of the elderly and children and meeting the needs of people of different ages. It is important to explore the design strategies of all-age communities to improve the quality of life of the elderly and children and to meet the needs of different age groups.
