Report?
The World Alzheimer Report 2020 will focus on dementia related design and the built environment, looking at progress to date, best practice and innovation across multiple environments including in home/domestic settings, day and residential care, hospitals and public buildings and spaces.
The report will provide a global perspective of dementia related design that takes a cross cultural approach, reflects regional and economic differences and low- middle- and highincome countries, and will consider urban versus rural settings. It will highlight the role of innovation, entrepreneurship and the importance of aesthetics.
