title: The aging of America.
abstract: As America's baby boomers age, communities, states and the federal government must address an older society's needs for safe, convenient homes, transportation and care. Most of the elderly will reside in the sprawling suburbs, which many experts say must change to be more like small European villages if the aged are to live independently.
