Livable Communities

AARP’s “Portraits of Community” is a unique project that presents a vibrant visual representation of how communities can embody the 8 Domains of Livability. These 8 Domains highlight the idea that our neighborhoods, roadways, and social interactions should be constructed in a way that benefit people of all ages and abilities, and that building communities in such a way has a lasting, positive impact. “Portraits of Community” is a “visualization” of the wants and needs of community members.

What would make Los Angeles an even better place to live? In 2016, AARP staff posed this question online and in person via listening posts — large writing surfaces stocked with markers and pens — in South Los Angeles. In both instances, we asked community members to weigh in on this simple, yet essential question. Responses formed a true snapshot of the intersection between the existing beauty of our communities and the endless possibilities of how we can make them even better; they ranged from affordable housing, to safe parks, reliable transit and intergenerational connectivity.
