Livable Nashville
The Nashville Livability Project is a collaboration between Mayor Karl Dean, Vice Mayor Diane Neighbors, the Project’s committee members and Nashville residents to explore how the city can best prepare for the changing demographic makeup of the city—as the Baby Boom generation reaches retirement age—and better meet the needs of all citizens from birth to retirement.
