"Problem:
Old people need #oldpeople, but they also need the young, and #youngpeople need contact with the old.
Solution:
Create dwellings for some 50 old people in every neighborhood. Place these dwellings in three rings ...
@WT_Dore Different idea: subsidies for real estate owners who keep a healthy mix of genertions in their apartment blocks. Maybe even take special care that the lower floor apartments are friendly to old people and create community areas. That would also solve a lot of the geriatric care problems :-)
...1. A central core with cooking and nursing provided.
2. #Cottages near the core.
3. Cottages further out from the core, mixed among the other #houses of the neighborhood, but never more than 200 yards from the core.
... in such a way that the 50 houses together form a single coherent swarm, with its own clear center, but interlocked at its periphery with other ordinary houses of the #neighborhood." Christopher Alexander, A Pattern Language #patternlanguage #christopheralexander
