America's Aging, the Social and Built Environment for an Older Society

Third in the series, this book addresses the social implications of architectural and interpersonal environments for older people.

The study investigates new approaches to the problem, including new housing alternatives and new strategies for reflecting the needs of the elderly in housing construction.Institute of Medicine Staff is the author of 'America's Aging, the Social and Built Environment for an Older Society' with ISBN 9780309037808 and ISBN 0309037808.
