Overview
With the creation of age-friendly communities a key recommendation of the Older People’s Housing Taskforce, this HAPPI Hour webinar explores what it really means to create age-friendly futures — from policy to practice and research to real-life impact. This lively session brings together a rich mix of voices and insights from the latest research and applied thinking about creating age-friendly places.
From academia, we were joined by The Open University’s Dr Hannah Marston, talking about her recent Housing LIN viewpoint on affordability and the relationship in the age-friendly cities and communities arena. We were also joined by The University of Edinburgh’s School of Architecture’s Iain Scott, referring to his Housing LIN guest blog, ‘What makes a good place for healthy ageing: Developing a tool to assess ageing in place’.
Whether you’re working in housing, health, local government or research, this session shares new perspectives and practical takeaways to shape healthier, more inclusive communities for all of us as we age.
