"How can we provide good spatial orientation for people with dementia? More than 35 million people worldwide currently live with dementia, and the number will double by 2050 according to professional forecasts. This development also presents a unique challenge to architecture and urban planning, because dementia is associated with problems in orientation and, hence, is closely related to spatial contexts. Questions such as these are addressed extensively in a selection of professional essays that also carve out specific requirements for various disciplines"--Provided by publisher.
