This book shares insights from the Healthy Ageing Challenge, bringing research, business, policy and practice together to create age-friendly homes, workplaces and communities.
Spanning co-design with older people, business collaboration and innovations in design, work, housing, culture and health, it explores the real-world impact of ageing research and the possibilities for business in developing an ageing market.
From age-friendly homes to climate-resilient communities, the book provides a rich evidence base for healthier, more connected lives.
