Growth in Centers responds to market demand• Demographic trends:
– First wave of baby boomers will be 65 in 2011– Largest number of millenials reaches 22 in 2012
• One-third of future households will prefer to live in new “walkable” developments: smaller homes, townhomes, condos, with access to transit, jobs and amenities. We are far short of meeting this demand.
• The Vision puts more new homes and jobs in walkable developments near transit stations. This preserves the character of existing suburban neighborhoods.
