Why is the Village Model the Right Model Now?
![Page 10: The Village Movement American Planning Association May 30, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649efd5503460f94c11172/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Because we are craving community and companionship that decreases isolation
and gives meaning to our lives.
![Page 12: The Village Movement American Planning Association May 30, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649efd5503460f94c11172/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Because we cannot build enough senior communities and retirement facilities to
house all of us.
It would take too long and cost too much.

Because 90% of people age 60 and older say they want to age in their own homes
and communities.
