The EPA Active Aging Awards are a great place to start looking for examples of communities that have worked to combine the principles of smart growth with active aging initiatives. For more info on past award winners: http://www.epa.gov/aging/bhc/awards/2009/index.html.

ICMA, under the direction of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging and in collaboration with several other partners, will be conducting a national survey on aging in the fall, which updates the survey conducted five years ago. The survey will identify communities that are supporting healthy aging.
