قسمتی از متن فیلم: Welcome from the american planning association’s international division and from aarp to the world town planning day session planning livable communities for all ages my name is stephanie firestone i am a senior strategic policy advisor with aarp and an urban and environmental planner by training briefly i’m going to provide a

Substantive frame for our conversation around livable communities for all ages i’ll then pass the baton to uh sean jones who is an urbanization policy officer with help aid international and he’ll discuss how the twin trends of longevity and urbanism are being addressed in the un sustainable development goals

Then dr mildred warner professor from the department of city and regional planning at cornell university will present survey findings around planning for multi-generational communities dr laura keyes lecturer at the department of public administration with the university of north texas will present survey findings from an educational intervention on cross-sector collaboration in planning livable

Communities for all ages and then myself and michael amabiel a senior planner with erup an international design planning and engineering firm will talk about continuing opportunities for planners around the world to engage in to contribute to and to learn from this deepening conversation this is a visual

Of the aging population in the united states so this is 65 plus in the year 2010 and what you can see on the screen is the darker the blue the older the state is this is the 65 plus population in the year 2020 and i do want to point out that the 80

Plus population growth rate in the united states is two times the speed of the 65 plus and almost four times that of the total population this aging of populations due to lower birth rates and and more so increasing life spans is a global phenomenon today japan is the only country in the

World where 60 plus represents 30 or more of the population but by 2050 it’s projected that 62 countries will reach that milestone this graph from aarp’s aging readiness and competitiveness report released in 2017 examined 12 countries that together represent nearly half of the people age 65 plus around the world

The un and the world health organization use the definitions in this graph to describe the share of people age 65 or older in a society so if it’s more than seven percent it’s called an aging society greater than 14 and aged society and greater than 21 a super age society

It took the u.s 70 years to transition from aging to aged 45 years for the uk 40 years for germany and 25 years for japan and brazil and china are projected to complete this transition in about 20 years and then joined the super age society in just 10 to 15 years later

And older adults today have different perspectives on how and where they want to live one of the most consistent features of older adults around the world is their strong preference to age in their home or community for as long as possible independent living is on the rise particularly in developing countries

Where families are shifting away from multi-generational structures so the nation cities and towns suburbs and rural areas all need to be preparing for this aging population now there are some universal challenges to this idea of aging in the community homes for example that were built for the younger more able-bodied often don’t

Accommodate aging in fact in the united states two-thirds of those 85 plus today have at least one disability there are unsafe streets older adult pedestrian fatalities are actually disproportionate to their percentage of the population and falls account for 68 of seniors hospitalizations approximately half of those falls take place outside of the home

There’s a lack of transportation options people live on average a decade after they reach their driving retirement or have to give up the keys and people are isolated in fact in the u.s the number of people 75 plus living alone is expected to double from 2015 to 2035.

So all communities need to make the built environment housing transportation and other services appropriate and accessible for people across an increasingly long lifespan but there are also opportunities from increased longevity and it’s imperative that we rethink the role of older adults in our communities in our economies they’re not only living longer but

They’re living healthier in many countries they’re wealthier than generations before them in the united states 83 percent of u.s health sold wealth is held by people over 50. they possess valuable experience and expertise and they increasingly seek to remain active and productive in the united states 50 plus are one of

The fastest growing groups of entrepreneurs in fact they’re twice as likely as millennials to start a business and finally we need to ensure that older adults are able to remain not only independent but also active and contributing members of their community one of the most important ways that older adults contribute is through

Volunteering it’s a huge renewable resource for social problem solving this slide from johns hopkins university’s center for civil society studies took a tool that was developed by the international labor organization to measure volunteer work and they took data that was gathered in the early 2000s from 36 countries to

Estimate that if all the world’s volunteers in a typical year gathered in one uninhabited territory which they entitled volunteer nation that’s the red bar the work of these volunteers even conservatively valued would make this territory the seventh largest economy on the globe in 2005 the estimated economic value of the

Entire world’s volunteer workforce was 1.35 trillion u.s dollars and there’s definitive evidence that people who volunteer live longer are happier physically healthier and less depressed which also saves the community resources on the back end and these positive effects of volunteering seem to be stronger for older adults than for younger people

In part perhaps because volunteering often replaces lost roles as wage earners and parents providing a new sense of purpose social networks and self-esteem perhaps the most significant step toward taking advantage of these opportunities and overcoming these challenges is the who’s creation in 2010 of the global network of friendly cities and communities

Developed as a model that includes eight age-friendly city domains those are pictured in the flower and it created tools and guidance for local communities to undertake this work in 2012 aarp began to recruit and support communities in the united states to become age friendly as an affiliate of this global network

And the tools created by the who and aarp are also being used by many more thousands of communities that are not necessarily a part of these formal networks but are nonetheless working with multiple stakeholders at the local level to make their communities livable for all ages

And i want to emphasize that given the element of rapidly increasing longevity discussed earlier most of them also focus on the shift from older adults being a small segment of communities population to older adults being a large percentage of the population and this significant expansion of lifespans is a relatively new challenge

That planners must address a planner’s role envisioning the form and future growth of community means that they need to address functional abilities that relate to the environment or what we call social determinants of health that’s home community socialized work and other structures that a person interacts with

And i also want to note the importance of including all people of all ages that includes immigrants and low-income residents and other marginalized people in the community so that all community residents can age successfully i’ll close with a nod to the twin trend of longevity which is urbanization

So with that i want to pass the baton on to sean who will discuss how this is being addressed by the international community via the sustainable development goals sean thank you stephanie and thank you again for the invitation and the opportunity i’m the urbanization policy officer for help age international

So i’m going to take the opportunity to familiarize everyone involved in urban planning with the international frameworks that exist around development particularly looking at lower middle income countries and with relevance to aging populations and all the people after briefly introducing help page and the work that we do i’m going to look at

Some data around aging and urbanization and then i’m going to summarize the sustainable development goals the new urban agenda and a quick look at our own aging in the city report and look at what they each say about aging and urbanization so help international is a global network of civil society organizations

Working to protect the rights of older people particularly in low middle income countries we have 127 member organizations across 77 countries and our strategy aims to ensure that in our old age we all enjoy a secure income the best possible health that we are safe and secure and free from violence

And abuse and that our voice is heard so listed on the slide are some examples of our work and you can obviously learn more about us by going to our website so i think most people assume that older people tend to prefer to retire away

From the city they like to post it to the countryside but the data actually shows that 58 of all the people globally live in cities this is actually higher than any other age group so an older person is actually more likely to live in a city than a younger person

Older people are also the fastest growing cohort of urban populations and there are over 500 million older people already living in cities this is not a small number added to that the 70 of older people globally live in lower middle income countries which are rapidly aging you

Can see that the issue of aging and urbanization is is global but particularly in in the global south in latin america all the people living in cities make up the equivalent population of sao paulo mexico city and the guitar combined it’s the same story even in africa where

The narrative tends to focus on young populations and urbanization asia is home to a massive 250 million older people already living in cities and all these numbers are going up but what this data doesn’t show us is the inequality that we experience both because we live in cities and as we grow

Older a huge number of older people living in cities live in poverty and have very different levels of access to the services that are generally seen as the supposed benefits of living in a city so how do internationally agreed frameworks and agreements respond to aging urban well the sustainable development goals

Are the follow-up to the millennium development goals they’re universal meaning their commitments made by every country that’s a member of the un whether they’re rich or poor and they aim to address a wide range of issues over the next 15 years most relevant to urbanization and planning is goal 11 to

Make cities and human settlements inclusive safe resilient and sustainable now each goal has targets and indicators and goal 11 talks about the importance of safe affordable accessible and sustainable public transport with special attention to the needs of different people including older persons it also focuses on the value of safe

Inclusive and accessible green and public spaces but of course we can’t take these goals and targets as gospel they have many gaps and deficiencies for example the target for green and public space specifies the amount of green space but not its quality or its safety these are

Key characteristics if we want to make sure that all the people and the rest of the community are actually using the spaces that are available to them the city goal goal 11 of course is not the only goal relevant to urban planning goal 3 on health 6 on water and

Sanitation and goal 13 and climate change are also particularly relevant as i’ve already mentioned however significant gaps remain and so whilst the sustainable development goals provide an initial global framework our response to aging urban populations needs to be needs to be broader than what’s prescribed in these in these limited sets of goals

So enter the new urban agenda so agreed by un member states at the habitat iii conference in october 2016. it’s held every 20 years and it aims to agree a shared direction for urban development over the next two decades i’m actually also the co-chair of a coalition of organizations that work on

Issues of aging and urbanization that specifically advocated for the inclusion of older people in the new urban agenda the documents ended up with 27 references to aging old people whereas the initial draft only had three so these 27 references cover diverse areas such as housing public space and public transportation

But it also covers key principles relevant to aging in urban context including the need to challenge discrimination based on age and any other characteristic it also mentions the the importance of the participation of all the people in local government in planning and investment decisions also included was the need to have age

Disaggregated data collection so the policy and decision makers have the information that they need to make decisions that are appropriate to the populations that they are trying to address so the new urban agenda has a mix of physical and social kind of political recommendations to improve the

Experience of older age in urban centers but of course it’s still a natural struggle in cities that are largely dominated by private vehicles air pollution crime and private interest and profit so these frameworks they give us a guiding direction i think we also need

To bear in mind that in a lot of lower middle income contexts that we work in that the capacity of the local level at the municipal level is often lacking and so there’s big challenges ahead to be able to implement these recommendations so lastly i’ll just mention briefly in

The run up to the habitat 3 conference health aging in the city which you can download from our website it discusses three key issues and the report was based on focus groups and community level engagement that we carried out in mexico city in rio de janeiro in beirut and also in

Delhi so we’re trying to bring the voice of all the people reflecting that point that participation is actually really important in order to understand properly the challenges that are happening so it discusses three key issues firstly the need to reclaim urban spaces for all people and create pleasant and welcoming

Walkable environments that encourage us to interact and participate in society we feel that it’s not enough to just have spaces that are physically accessible although that’s a precondition the spaces actually need to be places that people want to spend time in one of the highest one of the biggest

Issues that we have as we grow old is the risk of social isolation and so wanting and being encouraged to go out and interact with the communities is a key issue the report also talks about the burden of air pollution and also non-communicable disease such as diabetes the rate of which is much

Higher in herbal centers due to sedentary lifestyles and poor diets and of course the impact of these diseases is greatest as we age the report also looks at urban safety and security in older age recognizing that crime is a big issue that old people specifically identified as a key

Barrier to their participation in city life and also humanitarian emergencies which are increasingly happening in urban contexts across the world so that’s just a brief summary of what’s happening at the international level in terms of guidance around aging and urbanization and fitting in with other development objectives more broadly

You’re welcome to get in touch with me directly if you have any questions or you’re interested in our work thank you for listening and i think now i’m passing on to mildred thank you very much sean um i’m mildred warner i’m a professor in the department of planning at cornell university and i

Want to talk about a multi-generational approach to creating livable communities so how do we build more age-friendly communities well i’m going to argue that we need a broader approach we should not just focus on aging we should focus on all ages children caregivers elders while we give lots of attention to

Physical issues we also need to pay attention to the social layer and physical design is important but we also need to think about maintenance and norms of use because they can obliterate good design or they can ameliorate bad design and it’s not just the role of planning

Which is our focus here today but also the importance of participation and building institutional partnerships which laura will get into in more detail in the next presentation and finally we have traditionally planned for men and as we think about planning for aging it also opens the broadens our lens to

Think about the need to plan for women and children so for evidence i’m going to show some results from some u.s national surveys that we did with the american planning association with aarp and with the international city county management association and then i’m also going to present some work that some of my

Students did when we were in rome this past spring so an all-age approach while the world health organization has an agency city initiative this initiative is primarily focus toward the older years of life unicef has a child-friendly cities initiative that’s focused toward the younger years and what you’ll notice

With both of these frameworks is that they have many common elements the ones i’ve highlighted here in blue tend to deal more with physical aspects of the environment and the ones in green focus more on the social aspects of the environment both being extremely important so when we think about not just physical

But physical and social i want to give you an example of a unplanned neighborhood on the outskirts of rome pineta cecchetti where there are almost no sidewalks if you look at the map only the green lines of roads have sidewalks the red and yellow do not

And this is an area that’s pretty hilly but what’s happened is the norms of use in this neighborhood slow the flow and this reduces conflict between users and so in effect these streets become complete streets but despite poor design so cars pedestrians share these streets together it’s also not just about

Design but we also need maintenance and good norm so here’s another neighborhood a richer neighborhood closer to the center of rome italy called piazza alessandria and you’ll notice a well-defined crosswalk with a median to wait in the middle of a very wide road you can see on the other

Side there’s a bike trail but then you see in the picture below a car parked in the middle of the crosswalk this is quite common throughout rome and so good design can be undermined by poor maintenance and violating uses so when we think about reaching beyond planning we need to think about

Participation and building new institutional partnerships in in our work in pinetta cecchetti and to fellow to lower income peripheral neighborhoods of rome we found that the library was an excellent resource to reach out to the community as well as senior centers and schools and we were able to engage both

Youth and older adults through photo voice exercises mapping surveys and focus groups to hear their needs and interests we also need to move beyond a focus on men and also think about women and children now when we think about women we recognize that women face a triple burden they have household responsibilities for

Child care and elder care and these responsibilities fall more heavily on women in every country in the world they’re also involved in the labor force both the formal labor force and the informal labor force and oftentimes we as planners focus more on the formal and forget the informal this is a problem

Third women face spatial constraints of separation of home and work which eats up their time and makes it more difficult to negotiate in the urban environment and as you age we all become a little bit more like women we have more concerns with care we have more involvement in informal labor force

Activities and the spatial constraints become more of a burden so i’m arguing that we need a multi-generational planning approach inclusive design designing our cities not just for our aging population but also keeping an eye toward the young and the caregivers in the middle looking for possibilities of shared services rather than segregating

Services and neighborhoods by age thinking of possibilities for integration and sharing across age and in hopes this will lead us to a common vision for all residents of the community so where is current practice in the u.s i’m going to briefly talk about a few surveys that we’ve done back in 2008 we

Did a survey with the american planning association on family friendly planning then in 2010 aarp icma and the national area agencies on aging did a survey on maturing of america which looked at services for elders in 2013 we did a survey on planning across generations with the international city county management

Association and in 2014 we did a survey with the planning and women division of the apa on women and aging common themes that emerged in all of these survey results were that planning codes and zoning matters and that participation is key let’s look at the family-friendly planning survey so we were interested we

Had a set of about 35 actions that planners could do that’s the green box um to create a city that’s more friendly for children and young families and the main drivers that differentiated communities that did more action from those that did not was if they had families participating in their planning processes

The other thing that was important was site planning and zoning the nitty gritty detail notice that comprehensive planning did not lead to more action in fact it led to resistance stating goals putting it out front led to nimby not in my backyard type responses while positive attitudes reduced active resistance ignorance was

The major driver of resistance so it suggests that we have an educational process that we need to move forward on and we should really give our attention to family participation and site planning and zoning as the way to move forward so do we include the needs of children

And seniors in our plans this was a question we asked in 2013 of 1500 city managers across the u.s and guess what almost half of our communities do not include any language about seniors or children and youth in their comprehensive plans we’re a little better on emergency plans

With disasters we recognize that seniors and children and youth can be the most vulnerable in the context of a disaster so we’re now seeing almost two-thirds of our plans addressing their needs and an economic development we’re less than a third so we have quite a distance to go so what leads to change

Again in this survey the results showed something similar to what we had seen with the family-friendly planning survey participation that’s what drives the chain participation of elders and families with children we also need community leadership elected officials developers the planning and zoning board this is what helps lead us to have comprehensive

Plans that address the needs of aging and children in their language when you have those plans you’re more likely to have zoning codes that will lead you to a better built environment broader housing choices and more services for children and elders so i’ll show you some quick results from

The 2013 national survey and if we think about outcomes an environment that’s conducive for aging in place and also conducive for growing up well you can think about neighborhood schools or sidewalk systems connecting your neighborhood or a playground within a half mile access to food markets public gathering spaces

Mixed use complete streets what you’ll see with all of these is that there’s a metro core suburban rural gradient metro core areas are more likely to have these um age-friendly features what you’ll also notice is that the majority of communities do not have these features in the majority of

Their community area so even when communities do say they have this feature we’re only finding for example 70 of metro core areas saying that they have more than half of their community has access to a neighborhood school that means the other half does not so zoning regulations can lead us in the

Right direction if you’ve got any development pressure your new development could at least follow some of these more age-friendly guidelines like mandating a sidewalk system or promoting parks and recreation facilities in all neighborhoods or building in street connections pedestrian friendly design guidelines and again here you see the metro

Suburban rural gradient and in rural areas for example pedestrian free design guidelines are found in less than 20 percent of communities we had talked about the importance of linking the informal and the formal and paying attention to care work i want to draw your attention to the the next one

On allowing child care centers less than half communities allow child care centers in their zoning regulations and how about child care businesses in residential units by right this could be either formal or informal family based child care again less than half of communities allow this so this is this

Speaks to the separation of spheres the public and private sphere and the ignoring of the importance of care work in planning when we think about housing we have less than 20 percent of respondents saying that their communities allow accessory dwelling units so we need cross-agency partnerships to

Move forward and so we asked if any of the following agencies were involved in cross-agency partnerships at the community level to serve children and seniors and right up there at the top just like we found in rome libraries and school districts they’re really engaged in reaching out

To serve the needs of children and seniors and down at the bottom is the transportation or highway department the least likely to collaborate with anybody and that’s where most of the planning money in the us is found the planning department is just a little bit further up your economic development and housing

Agencies aren’t much better except in urban areas the housing agencies look better so we have a need for more cross-agency partnerships but we’re not there yet so this is referring to the uh survey that we did on women and aging and what we can see is that an emphasis on aging

Helps to drive us toward more gender-sensitive land-use actions um in terms of paying attention to spatial constraints to the role of informal and informal work to the importance of care work so we can think of aging our age and societies as an opportunity to move us forward to a planning that is more

Sensitive to the needs of everyone if you’re interested in any of more information on these surveys you can find all of this at my website mildredwarner.org and with that i would like to turn it over to dr keys thank you so much mildred and i think that this session will help

Demonstrate how to continue the educational interventions that you referenced as being necessary as we continue to figure out opportunities to advance livable communities for all ages so in march of 2017 in aging the american planning association and the aarp came together to help sponsor a summit to bring together

Different professions to discuss the status of livable communities for all ages and to find opportunities to foster collaboration between these professions the goals of the summit were really to help these professions engage with each other and learn about planning and aging relative to each other’s work to investigate areas of overlap and to

Discuss opportunities for coordination the focus of the summit was to provide lca planning tools to multiple professions in one setting in this experience we provided academic research the latest in area plans from area agencies on aging and the latest in aarp planning tools including their livability index and their future of housing toolkit

We had panelists present on various different planning interventions related to creating communities for all ages these were initiated both from the side of aarps age-friendly cities initiatives as well as through the leadership of regional planning councils we also let participants participate in a facilitated deep dive of certain issues

Important to lca planning work including healthy foods safe and accessible housing health services and opportunities for social interaction this was a purposeful event that was scheduled to follow the american society jeans national conference so it’s not a surprise that 45 percent of the participants represented the aging sector but through effective recruitment

Strategies we were able to secure participation with over 25 percent of representation by planners over 61 percent of all of our attendees which was a total of 250 participants indicated some work initiated in the area of livable communities for all ages planning the most success occurring relative to

Activities of engagement as you can see those activities included hosting visionary meetings and also creating citizen steering advisory committees for their community our research interest is understanding the factors such as trust reputation and reciprocity that may influence cross-sector collaboration between the planning and aging profession professions our research interest is an

Understanding the factors such as trust reputat reputation and reciprocity that influence cross-sector collaboration between planning and the aging professionals planning provides the opportunity to facilitate community change through zoning aging provides the opportunity to identify direct services needed by older adults the livable communities for all ages framework provides the opportunity to

Facilitate these relationships the event itself served as the platform for our data collection we utilized three survey instruments including a pre-event survey an event evaluation survey as well as a post-event six-month follow-up survey four strategic lessons learned emerge helping leaders seeking to serve change in their communities our first lesson was the relationship

With the planner is within reach we tend to associate the initiation of lca work with the aging sector but findings from our survey instruments illustrate an important connection is growing with the planning sector over 11 percent of aging professionals indicated an area of planning as a primary focus of their current work efforts

Planners are also beginning to identify with aging policy these findings provide evidence while reasonably limited of a connection between the aging and planning fields fourteen percent of respondents also indicated that their city or regional planning agency was a lead for their livable communities for all ages work the lca summit also demonstrated some

Level of effectiveness as a learning intervention as there was a significant difference of recognition of the value of cross-sector collaboration and relationships relative to lca work before and after the event this is not surprising as the eight who domains for age-friendly cities are relevant to many different professions identifying points of commonality are

Important for goal alignment and collaboration participants were asked to identify the most important livable for community all ages characteristics important to their work these characteristics included mobility housing the built environment programs and services access to information public security civic participation volunteerism leadership and access to health a correlation analysis between the

Profession type and these characteristics revealed that access to health was common for both planners and aging professionals in the context of this summit this is not surprising giving many were there as part of the larger american aging conference these findings do raise the point that access to health could serve as the

Vehicle or starting point to identify goals between these groups communities may find a productive to survey professions of interests to identify areas of overlap and points of commonality having a previous relationship and working together on community projects influences trust and reduces uncertainty and risk the most prominent group identified as

Most actively working with lca were area agencies on aging followed by the group other identified groups including citizen-led councils and non-profits actually respondents indicated strong relationships with other partner professions including planning health and the aging sector the most important reason for fostering this relationship is due to the other organization’s

Recognizable lead role on these issues we find that trust reputation and reciprocity are important components of collaboration in fact 83 percent attributed their current success in the lca planning arena based on a previous experience of working together with the other field over 50 percent suggest their lack of

Success in advancing lca work was related to the lack of municipal leadership and a lack of a culture of collaboration in that municipality in fact aarp’s age friendly communities initiative requires a letter of commitment from municipal leadership recognizing the importance of leadership from the top to ensuring successful outcomes of these efforts

A solid foundation for collaboration exists as both professions rely on similar tools to advance their planning including visioning with residents and the public establishing steering committees and performing needs assessments to collect valuable community data assessments and knowing demographics were identified as two crucial tools in advancing livable for communities all ages work

These are standard engagement and data collection processes that could be leveraged to engage planners and the aging sector so when examining catalysts for the aging sector to engage planners in livable communities for all ages work it was noted by participants that there were three opportunities that seemed most beneficial including the

Opportunity to leverage a project or program currently underway to take advantage of an open policy window or to leverage a new funding opportunity that may exist in their local budget certain catalysts for engaging planners to participate in lca efforts were also mentioned including hosting participatory meetings with planners and community residents

On livable communities for all ages participating in a locally derived age-friendly community initiative and again providing written information on changing demographic and aging issues working together will help both professions navigate policy changes that benefit older adults while paying attention to their needs and wants so with that i’m going to pass this back

To stephanie firestone to help us understand where we go from here great thank you laura so in our final few minutes we want to share some of the ways that we’re continuing this conversation and more importantly ways that we need your input to inform this

Conversation so at the top of the box we listed some of the next steps uh the survey information that laura just presented will be written up in an article in the international journal working with older people they’re doing a special edition on age friendly communities that should be out in january 2018

And then there is a second livable communities for all ages summit at the american society on aging’s annual conference in san francisco in march and we’re hoping to do a session at the international federation on aging’s 14th global conference on healthy aging as well that’s in toronto in

August but most importantly and the most important next step is that we need you for this so essentially we’re currently conducting an initial phase of research among planners around the world on what motivates planners to engage in this agenda of infusing aging considerations into their regular planning work in

Other words how to get planners to play and we’re asking that you please take it would only take you five to ten minutes to complete the survey which you can link to now or you can participate at any time until around the beginning of december you can get to the survey through either

The aarp or apa websites with a backslash planner engagement survey one word and we really really encourage you to help and share your knowledge with other planners we’re also hoping to conduct a facilitated discussion around what we learned through this research at apa’s 2018 national policy conference in new orleans in april

And we’re starting to collect best practices as a part of this research as well so i’m just going to pass it on to my colleague michael who will share some additional information thanks stephanie so as stephanie said we really need your help to help further the the understanding and knowledge base around living

Livable communities for all ages and so in addition to the survey we’re working to gather best practices from around the globe to help inform and inspire planners as to how they can support how we can support their efforts to do more in this area so we’re really looking for some good best practices

That will hopefully come about through the survey respondents as well as through other practitioners and planners the survey at the end of the survey there’ll be a link to a a form where people can fill out some very simple questions that will help us understand some best practices so essentially the last

Question in the survey is do you know the best practice that you’d like to have highlighted um as part of this research and then you’ll be able to click through to that and submit the information on the best practice so it’s very simple we’re really looking for just some some basic bullets that

Members of the research team will follow up on but things like the type of work the setting the area of practice or housing or transportation and then some area some wp boxes for folks to fill in with simple narrative on what motivated the work what the goals of the work were

And then what were the outcomes the results benefits both qualitative and quantitative we’d like to for the most part try and have the work broken up into four or five groups of plans policies programs or projects and there’ll be a brief description in the best practices form to help people kind

Of guide them through that process as i said the link for the form on best practices will be accessible through the survey that stephanie had mentioned that’s accessible through the aarp and apa website we’re going to work with global partners if needed to translate that to make sure if there’s some really great

Best practices but the practitioners are not able to follow the survey excuse me follow the best fact of this form that we’ll want to make sure we work with them to be able to capture the those examples submissions will be reviewed by the aarp and apa research team so many of the

People who we’ve heard today on this webinar and follow-up calls or emails will be conducted to clarify the best practices and make sure we’re getting all the right details in the short term as stephanie said number of these will be featured as part of the facilitated conversation at apa’s

National planning conference in new orleans in 2018 and a number of the best practices will also be highlighted on both the apa and aarp’s website in the long run our hope is to make this collection of best practices available and searchable online and also potentially have a way for people to

Continue adding to it so that way they’ll be these great examples of of the great work that people are doing in this realm for all of us to learn from and hopefully inspire us to continue the work so with that i’ll pass it back to stephanie for some closing words

Great thank you michael so i’m listed here on the next slide the contact information for all the presenters as well as my partner at the apa the chair of the international division tim van epp and again we are not asking you to complete an evaluation survey of the webinar but we are asking

Planners to please complete the international planner engagement survey and also please share it with your colleagues and with your networks so with that i want to thank you thank our international coalition of volunteers and partners who helped to shape and advance this research thank all cia’s presenters and

Thank you for your participation have a wonderful day
