The design of residential structures in current metropolitan communities, however, falls well short of addressing the behavioural and psychological requirements of the aged. In order to accommodate the growth of an elderly society, it has become crucial to construct barrier-free amenities in metropolitan neighbourhoods. Methods/Statistical analysis: The idea of barrier-free design suitable for older people is utilised to research outdoor barrier-free facilities in metropolitan areas. Findings: Examine and comprehend the requirements of the aged for an age-appropriate design through the initial investigation. Read and briefly describe the pertinent reports on the elderly and barrier-free research.
