Dementia-Friendly Neighbourhood: Translating Ethnographic Research to Pilot Evidence-Based Design in Singapore.

Dementia is a critical issue in Singapore - 1 in 10 older adults (60 years or above) suffers from Dementia. Exacerbating the issue, many people living with dementia (PLWDs) are housebound as present outdoor environments are not conducive for them to navigate their local neighbourhoods. Moreover, Singapore's high-rise, high-density, and hyper-sensorial outdoor environment demands a unique, localised approach that renders guidelines done elsewhere less applicable.
