“Ageing is not exclusive to older people. We are all ageing, all the time. We all have that in common. But what is not shared is how we’ll age, and where we’ll end up in our older age."

Internalisation of ageist stereotypes is common on social media, with people talking about themselves "getting old" or having a "senior moment".

Its time to change the narrative about getting older.

"When people can grow their own food, they feel powerful, they feel like they can do other things...We want communities to feel empowered like they have control over their own lives and their own well-being.” https://t.co/GlxA8vxZLG

People Party!, a new app co-created by @bryanboyer & developed by @dashmarshall, uses census data to help #architects imagine more representative spaces.
It takes the guesswork out of populating human scale figures into architectural renderings. https://t.co/AzmfQWFeMG

An interesting read about how can we do more street friendly engagement for the aging people for good community connections and accessibility @egbeird @arealonemarco #HbyD_Umich @UpaliNanda

[Ageing Better @Ageing_Better]

By 2040, older consumers are expected to spend £550 billion a year, which is 63p of every pound spent in our economy.

How then, can we make high streets more age-friendly?

Interesting report on Equitable Community mobility in urban scenario @egbeird @arealonemarco #HbyD_Umich

[Centric Lab @TheCentricLab]

We saw this throughout the lockdown rollouts, peoples experiences were not matching up to reporting, which led us to rethink the issue.

We came up with Equitable Mobility Zones and produced a report on the topic.
