Beyond The Front Door: Building Communities for Every Age - with Bill Armbruster

What makes a community a great place to live, work, and grow older? In our new season of The Age Guide, we will explore livable communities and what makes a community a place where people can thrive at every age. In our first episode, we are joined by Bill Armbruster, Senior Advisor at AARP Livable Communities for a conversation about building inclusive, livable communities that support people at every stage of life. Bill shares how communities across the country are working to become more inclusive by improving access to transportation, housing, public spaces, and opportunities for social connection. He discusses the importance of engaging residents in shaping their communities and explains why creating age-friendly environments benefits everyone, not just older adults. Listeners will learn how small changes, local conversations, and thoughtful planning can be the first steps towards building more connected, inclusive communities.
