In Conversation, MUARG and the Manchester School of Architecture present:
Urban Ageing and Alternative Housing Futures
This in-person seminar, brought to you by the Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group (MUARG) and the Manchester School of Architecture, will be led by Professor Rose Gilroy from the University of Newcastle, with Mark Hammond as chair. Lunch will be provided before the session.
In a time of population ageing, there ought to be a stronger spotlight on housing. The quality of our place from dwelling through to streetscape, neighbourhood and transport are critical factors in determining quality of life. As more people age into frailty with a need for support, it should be obvious that every conversation about care, is a conversation about housing. But this is not the case, the housing debate is still dominated by numerical targets and the obsessive need to create home ownership opportunities for younger people. How can we have better conversations about housing that lead to better and more diverse offers? Can we create better housing futures?
