Feedback

  • Great framework for approaching intergenerational cohesion.
  • Very relevant and lots of food for thought.
  • Excellent awareness raising to get the house building culture shifting to building communities for everybody.

Overview

In this HAPPI Hour session, highlighting the work of Intergenerational England, we share why intergenerational living is all our business and how creating intergenerational approaches has significant social impact.

We also showcase a tapestry of different examples of how housing providers and architects are innovatively proofing their developments with intergenerational designs, community in-reach and services, as well as highlighting current research from an international perspective.

The Housing LIN is proud to be a member of Intergenerational England and its mission to connect generations for a stronger future.
