    We need your help- take our intergenerational Survey

    SURVEY: Intergenerational considerations for senior living… Please take ten minutes to share your two cents.

    Questions for the ages… on a topic that has the potential to impact everyone throughout the course of a lifetime. Intergenerational design and programming is a fast-moving trend but we are seeing diverse approaches to embrace this trend.

    We want YOU…to share your thoughts (and 10 minutes of your time) on the opportunities, benefits, and challenges of incorporating intergenerational considerations into senior living settings. This 20-question survey takes less time to complete than it takes to make these tasty no-bake cookies!

    This survey aims to gain a deeper understanding of this trend from the perspective of senior living industry designers, professionals, residents, and potential residents. Your "two cents" will help AIA Design for Aging, the Society for the Advancement of Gerontological Environments (SAGE), and The Center for Health Design to identify best practices within the industry, and will potentially shape the future of senior living.

    Crazy Rich Lessons from Singapore: A Case Study of Kampung Admiralty and Aging Well in the World's Smartest City


    Oct 16, 2023 12:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

    Description

    Kampung Admiralty was a "first of its kind" intergenerational community built in the Woodlands neighborhood of Singapore. Designed by WOHA Architects, Kampung Admiralty initially faced significant community opposition but has ultimately proven to be a hugely successful and transformational neighborhood destination. Four years after its completion, the development now serves as a template for other planned intergenerational developments around Singapore. Singapore is also the world's smartest city and leads the way in the adoption of technology as an integral part of daily living. As we know, the ability of older adults to age in place well and independently is increasingly turning to technology, and Singapore has a number of government-sponsored, innovative initiatives underway at individual, community, and city-wide levels.
