A Glimpse of Twilight: The Emergence of Retirement Villages across Southeast Asia

Abstract

Retirement villages have gained its popularity and foothold in Western countries and are now a rising trend in Southeast Asia. With the uncertainties brought about by the global pandemic, things such as retirement still remain certain, and homes still remain as a basic human need. Real estate developers are highly encouraged to tap the niche market of the ageing population as a part of their incoming plans for development; and the topmost consideration for such development is sustainable and healthy living made affordable, accessible and convenient for the population who need it most: the retirees.
