Alongside Jeremy Porteus at the Housing LIN, I have recently co-authored 'Age-Friendly Housing: Future design for older people', a book which investigates how we should approach the design of future housing for an ageing population, reminding us that this is not about ‘other people’, but about each of us. With a focus on anticipating the needs and aspirations of the next generation of older people, it also touches on what this implies for our communities, our towns and our cities, as well as for our living spaces.

Richly illustrated with case studies alongside contributions from a range of experts and examples of best practice, this comprehensive resource will inform and empower architects, designers, planners, students and clients to be braver and wiser when designing with older people in mind.

The book, which will be published in July, can be pre-ordered here (get £5 off with the code AGE5)!
