The housing problems of older people in society are highly topical because of the growing number of retired people in the population. Some government policies have been forthcoming, but the housing issue is just beginning to be addressed. This book represents a first attempt to bring together architecture, social science and housing studies to look at the future of living environments for an ageing society. It includes chapters on: articulating the demand for Third Age housing; lifetime homes; the politics of accessible housing in the UK; the implications of smart home technologies; dementia and technology; integration versus segregation; older people's CoHousing communities; retirement communes in Britain; design and everyday life; and inclusive housing.
