Picture This Podcast - Episode 5, Season 1
Place and Ageing
Host: Shannon Conway Guest: Dr Mark Hammond
In this episode we delve into the concept of age-friendly design in our homes and public spaces. What does it mean to be age-friendly, and why is it crucial for everyone involved in urban development?
Dr. Mark Hammond, a senior lecturer at the Manchester School of Architecture brings over 15 years of research on the relationship between aging populations and urban environments to the table.
In this episode, we discuss: - The misconceptions about age-friendly environments and the importance of inclusivity. - The benefits of intergenerational communities and the role older adults play in strengthening social fabric. - The challenges and opportunities in designing spaces that cater to diverse age groups. - Practical steps developers, architects, and policymakers can take to create age-friendly spaces.
Dr. Hammond also shares insights from the recent publication, "Creating Age-Friendly Developments," and provides real-world examples of successful implementations.
Whether you're a developer, urban planner, or simply interested in how our environments can better serve all generations, this episode is packed with valuable information and inspiration.
