How age-friendly is your city?

Join hosts Mike Olender and David Gwilt as they discuss what makes cities great for people of all ages.

This week on AARP's "Without Limits," you'll hear from Matthews, NC, Mayor Jim Taylor. Last fall, Matthews was the first municipality in North Carolina to join AARP's Network of Age Friendly Communities.

As the U.S. population ages and people stay healthy and active longer, communities must adapt.

The AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities helps participating communities become great places for all ages by adopting such features as safe, walkable streets; better housing and transportation options; access to key services; and opportunities for residents to participate in community activities.

Well-designed, livable communities promote health and sustain economic growth, and they make for happier, healthier residents — of all ages.

Learn more about the Network and the work being done in Matthews by listening to the audio link below. You can also listen live each Saturday at 6:00 pm on WBT Radio, 1100 AM and 99.3 FM in Charlotte.
