到2050年，全球痴呆症患者人数将达到1.154亿。这场不断加剧的危机引发了关于如何为早期痴呆症患者设计社区的研究，以及如何通过建筑环境的改变使他们能够尽可能长时间地留在社区。痴呆症患者继续与社区接触有许多好处：身体活动、尊严感、社会互动、自主和心理健康。在本文中，我检查了17个建议（城市设计和土地利用策略）确定为“痴呆友好”，在痴呆症的设计和规划文献。然后，每一个检查对一个中型郊区城市在安大略的规划框架，并评估其财务影响的基本情况下，使用形式分析。对开发商财务回报的影响微乎其微，表明通过监管和激励措施将这些建议确立为政策是可行的。
The number of people with dementia worldwide will reach 115.4 million by 2050. This accelerating crisis has sparked research on how to design neighbourhoods for those with early dementia, and how to empower them through built environment changes to remain in their community for as long as possible. There are numerous benefits for persons with dementia who continue access to their neighbourhood: physical activity, sense of dignity, social interaction, autonomy and psychological wellbeing. In this paper, I examine 17 recommendations (urban design and land use strategies) identified as 'dementia-friendly', within dementia design and planning literature. Each is then examined against the planning frameworks for a midsize suburban municipality in Ontario and assessed for its financial impact on a base case subdivision using pro forma analysis. The effect on the financial return for a developer was minimal, demonstrating that establishing these recommendations as policy is viable, through regulation and incentives.
