Abstract Details

2018, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
This project will look at senior living and healthcare in the city of New Philadelphia, OH. As the community continues to grow and age, the availability of amenities and living options will need to transition along with it. In order to make this transition successful, the city needs to take into consideration the merging of multiple generations. Through multigenerational planning we can provide aging in place that will result in a diverse social and intellectual life. Currently with the healthcare and senior living, all located on the perimeter of the city, residents must rely on a car to get anywhere. This study will look at ways in which we can bring senior housing, in coordination with student housing, and access to healthcare to a more central location in the downtown area. Centrally locating these amenities will further enhance the accessibility to existing resources in the downtown area and bring back the idea of walkability. We no longer need to isolate the aging population, instead we should embrace the collaboration and celebrate the interaction between other generations. Senior living in the downtown area may be considered a non-traditional idea, but through the multigenerational planning we can provide an aging in place option that still allows the older generations to keep the neighborhood like setting while continuing to enhance their quality of life.
