Overview

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

We will 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.
