Dementia-inclusive Planning and Design Guidelines
The DemSCAPE team partnered with to develop British Columbia's first synthesis of municipal planner interviews, grey literature, and peer-reviewed research. This document offers a toolkit of urban design strategies and actions that municipalities, developers, and other community members can implement to create more dementia-friendly cities. These planning and design strategies have the power to improve urban environments and wellbeing for all community members by boosting comfort, safety, inclusion, and sense of place.

Continuing our partnership with Happy Cities, the DemSCAPE project is proud to present seven learning modules that explore key principles, strategies, and actions for dementia-inclusive neighbourhood design. The goal of this site is to equip planners and community members with the tools to design and advocate for neighbourhoods that support wellbeing for people living with dementia.
