- Title
LAND USE REGULATION, DISABILITY, AND AGING IN PLACE.
- Authors
MALLOY, ROBIN PAUL
- Abstract
Our communities need better planning to be safely and easily navigated by people with disability, such as mobility impairment, and to facilitate intergenerational aging in place. Aging presents a number of issues because mobility declines with age. To achieve this goal, communities will need to think of mobility impairment and accessible design as issues for land use regulation, in addition to understanding them as matters of civil and human rights. Although much has been written about the rights of people with disabilities, little has been said about the interplay between disability and land use regulation. Making property accessible and safe imposes restrictions on property rights and development. In regulating property development, it is important to mediate the rights of property owners and the rights of people who are aging or who are dealing with a disability. With proper regulation, our communities can be vibrant, sustainable, and inclusive.
