  • Expert group to learn from and hear research.
  • Enlightening and useful in showing examples of housing for older people around the world that we could learn from here!
  • Informative, enlightening, hopeful.

Overview

We share the latest insights, good practice and research on designing accommodation for ageing well and wider interventions in the built environment that address loneliness and isolation.

On the latter, we also hear from Matter Space Soul on their work with the Campaign to End Loneliness on the impact of the wider built environment.
