Join us to learn more about the evolving global demographic change and how it will define the design of future cities and communities.

The talk will discuss about the notion of an age-friendly city, and how cities are developing age-friendly initiatives to turn the changing demographic into opportunities. Topics explored includes:

• A housing audit checklist tool to kickstart thinking about ageing in place and a 'Peter Pan’ home.
• Design opportunities in a silver economy.

Organised by DesignSingapore Council and supported by Singapore University of Technology and Design and National Design Centre.
