North East Region Housing LIN Meeting - Walker

Event date

Presentation notes and slides

Description

We are delighted to be joined by Professor Rose Gilroy, Professor of Ageing, Policy & Planning at the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, Newcastle University who is leading the region’s Future Homes project.

The Future Homes project is developing new housing exemplars that show people the future. They will combine in one place innovations in flexible living, material, digital technology and zero/low energy systems to provide supportive homes for everyone at any life-stage.

As part of the project Rose is engaging in conversations with a wide range of professionals, citizens and communities about their ideas for future housing to ensure the project can be as informed by many different minds and experiences.

Excitingly, the project has development finance to proceed meaning there is a real opportunity for any future solutions to be tested, refined and scaled up within Newcastle; offering a real alternative to the current housing offer available to older households.

In addition, to the workshop on Future Homes, there will be an opportunity to hear from Jeremy Porteus, Director of the Housing LIN on the national perspective, learn more about our future plans for the regional network as well as have a tour of the new development and an opportunity to pose questions to those involved.
