Winter can be a challenging season for many communities, especially those that experience significant snowfall. However, with thoughtful planning and creative placemaking, winter can also be a time of vibrant community engagement and activity. 8 80 Cities Winter Placemaking Guide, created with support from AARP, offers valuable insights and strategies to help cities and towns keep residents engaged and connected during the colder months. Here are some best practices for winter cities to consider when planning winter activities.

As we begin 2025, we at AARP Wisconsin are focused on passing legislation at the local, state, and national level that will enable all Wisconsinites to age with dignity and purpose. Whether that means providing more support for family caregivers, helping Wisconsinites save for retirement, or strengthening Medicare and Medicaid, we will be in the halls of our state and nation’s capitols to advocate for proposals that help all of us live the life we want as we transition from the workplace to retirement.
