This Chapter presents a personal interview survey. The key instrument is a questionnaire that seeks to find out older adults' (aged 55 and older) experiences and perceptions about growing older in Singapore, their housing and neighbourhood spaces. It explores issues relating to housing satisfaction and mobility aspiration, self-reported housing modification and housing needs, frequency of outdoor activities and satisfaction with neighbourhood public spaces as well as desired facilities and service clusters.
