Each realm includes several strategies, which identify high-level categories of action within the built environment. There are 20 strategies in total across the three realms.
These guidelines offer a resource on dementia-inclusive planning and design for anyone involved in shaping city streets and spaces.

This document additionally seeks to help community members, people living with dementia, and care partners understand how the environment can support their independence, comfort, and safety.
