HLINks: 25-29 May 2020

Last week we drew attention to Emma Lindley’s first thoughts on 'relationship capital' under lockdown. Her reflections helped Jeremy prepare for a presentation on ‘Defining the New Normal’ he gave this week at the Agile Ageing Alliance international e-conference, ‘The future of multigenerational neighbourhoods’. He highlighted the term he’s coined - CollaborAGE - and shared: “In recent months, the global pandemic has exposed the fragility of how we live our lives and how we maintain existing and build new relationships. For our future neighbourhoods, we not only need to urgently think about the physical architecture of our future neighbourhoods, we also need to think about their social architecture and how we forge relationships to co-create an age-friendly future for our homes and communities”.
