Description
Fit for Ageing: applying design to the production of age-friendly places
This free one-day workshop and dissemination event explores the changing role of the built environment in supporting the well-being and mobility of an ageing population.
Bringing together professionals from a range of disciplines (built-environment, health, community development, housing, and social care) we will explore how design-led thinking can be applied to neighbourhoods and cities - in order to develop new visions and join up resources at time of shrinking budgets.
The morning session will include presentation of findings from the DWELL project, including the development of our 'design for active ageing' principles. Participants will also be invited to explore an exhibition of design work produced by the DWELL project and our older participants.
Afternoon workshop sessions will interrogate the barriers and opportunities presented by the 'real-world' scenarios in which professionals operate, and test different approaches to risk, problem solving, and partnership working.
