The guide has been expanded and updated for the new 2005 edition, and includes many new chapters and topics.
"Written by a team from the Herberger Center for Design Excellence at Arizona State University, the guide encourages people to take a new look at the community or neighborhood in which they live. Although written from the perspective of persons age 50 and older, the topics are applicable to residents of all ages and abilities."
