Avoiding ‘bungalow legs’
Urban populations across the globe are ageing and much debate has centred on what constitutes an ‘age-friendly’ city. Historic environments, for example, often present physical challenges, such as steps and uneven surfaces – while today these are designed out. Smooth level surfaces, automatic doors and elevators to change level, require little exertion. However, has the fact that in order to keep our bodies healthy into older age, a level of phys…
Understanding older adults’ travel behaviour and mobility needs during the Covid-19 pandemic through the lens of the hierarchy of travel needs
The aim of this article is to critically review the scientific literature about the changes in travel behaviour and mobility amongst older adults caused by the COVID-19 pandemic across various countries, identify unmet travel needs and highlight patterns of inequalities in older adults’ mobility. We have collected articles from four academic databases: PubMed, Scopus, Transportation Research International Documentation (TRID) and Web of Science. …
Understanding the intersectional stigma of ageing, disability, and place
Stigma is a key concept for social scientists interested in how certain groups in society are judged and treated negatively. Within housing studies this scholarship reflects longstanding interests within the discipline regarding the spatial impacts of social and urban policies on both people, and the places in which they live. We augment these debates by advocating for a more intersectional understanding of how stigma is shaped by identity. It pr…
Do older homebuyers prefer dwellings with accessibility and adaptability features? Findings from an exploratory study
Demographic changes have prompted the development of 'age-friendly' housing design standards in several countries, but there has been limited exploration of whether older prospective homebuyers would prefer to purchase homes with accessible and adaptable features. This exploratory study used a stated choice experiment to explore whether prospective homebuyers in England aged 50 and over would prefer homes with accessibility and adaptability attri…
The mobilities of care in later life
There has been a renewed call for a revaluing of informal caring in order to counter the way that caring is undervalued, taken for granted and invisible. Travel is one area where a detailed critique of this issue has emerged with the concept of ‘mobility of care’, however, this concept has only been applied in relation to younger age groups, and our understanding of mobilities of care in later life remains underdeveloped. By ‘mobilities of care’ …
Involving older people in inclusive educational research
Establishing long-term research relationships with older people
Drawing on a recently completed longitudinal research project with 96 participants aged 55+, the paper provides insight into the challenges of carrying out ethical practices when engaged in longer-term research relationships with older people. It builds on a body of work that purposely records in detail the ethical dilemmas researchers face, the options available to them and the rationale guiding their reaction. The Co-Motion research, led by the…
A Home for Life or a Home for Now? Understanding Indifference toward Accessibility and Adaptability Features among Some Older Homebuyers
It has been argued that new homes should be designed with greater accessibility and adaptability to meet the needs of ageing populations and that future proofed dwellings may have a marketing edge and be desirable among older people. Drawing on focus groups with recent and prospective older homebuyers and applying an analytical framework based on insurance theory, we identify attitudes toward accessibility and adaptability features which contribu…
Co-designing Urban Living Solutions to Improve Older People’s Mobility and Well-Being
Mobility is a key aspect of active ageing enabling participation and autonomy into later life. Remaining active brings multiple physical but also social benefits leading to higher levels of well-being. With globally increasing levels of urbanisation alongside demographic shifts meaning in many parts of the world this urban population will be older people, the challenge is how cities should evolve to enable so-called active ageing. This paper repo…
An investigation of non-local-governed urban villages in China from the perspective of the administrative system
Physical Threats to Older People's Social Worlds
Western research reveals the significance of place in later life. In China the socialist welfare system of the work unit and the extended family have created even greater bonds between people and neighbourhood. The dismantling of this system and the weakening of family support have led to older people relying on other place-based structures which are now threatened by clearance. Older people who resided in Wuhan neighbourhoods due to be demolishe…
Planning for the Ageing Countryside in Japan
This paper explores how the aspirations of the retiring Japanese ‘baby boomer’ generation are being harnessed by depopulated rural areas as drivers for revival. Drawing upon case studies and key actor interviews undertaken in Hokkaido prefecture, the paper makes three points. Firstly that, as in the UK, the baby boomer generation in Japan is creating opportunities for the regeneration of rural areas. Secondly that proactive local authorities can …
The Significance of Demographic Change in the Swiss Approach to Private Rented Housing
Recent findings indicate that changing social constructions of age are mirrored in a growing desire for autonomous living in later life. This individualised concept is referred to as ‘ageing in place’. This paper discusses the challenges for the housing industry and examines to what extent maintenance and development strategies of Swiss real estate investors are meeting the changing demands of older people. Drawing on a number of case studies in …
Ageing societies
Meeting the Information Needs of Older People
The challenge of the ageing population is not just to provide more services but to employ new strategies. One of these is the need to rethink the provision of information to older people and their carers. This paper makes four points. First, that information and access to information have become more critical issues. Second, that older people may place a much higher value on information than other citizen groups but their access is poor for a ran…
The Role of Housing Space in Determining Freedom and Flourishing in Older People
The Conservation of English Cultural Built Heritage
Debates about the socially inclusionary potential of heritage have to date focused principally on heritage sites and museums. Relatively little attention has been paid to the wider Cultural Built Heritage (CBH) that surrounds us in our everyday lives. This paper starts with a brief theoretical exploration of the social role of heritage and the key policy background. Then, based on an understanding of policy and action in England, this paper sets …
Why can't more people have a say? Learning to work with older people
As part of a suite of policy documents on older people's issues, the ‘New Labour’ British government has published a joint housing and health strategy, Quality and Choice for Older People's Housing . In this they attempt to map out the problems facing older people. The strategy also suggests that among the solutions there should be more opportunities for older people to make choices and for their deeper involvement in housing matters. This paper …
Social Housing as Crime Control
This article considers the ways in which social housing has in recent years become inextricably linked with the process of crime control. Drawing on case study research into the rehousing of sex offenders, the authors provide evidence illustrating why and how social housing management has become increasingly drawn into the fold of crime control. The article then highlights some serious but often neglected concerns stemming from the adoption by so…
Building an infrastructure for everyday lives
This paper takes as its focus the practical solutions and new ways of thinking being forwarded by women across Europe under the umbrella of EuroFEM. It sets these case studies in the context of the developing importance of the ‘everyday life concept’. This concept has grown from two routes, firstly, feminist concerns for the way in which much of women's time is spent attempting to overcome the separation of home, waged work, the market and public…
Risking Housing Need
It is commonly suggested that social housing is allocated on the basis of ‘need’. The authors, however, suggest that the concept of risk provides a much better explanation of the complex interplay of interests involved in the allocation process. In particular, risk explains developing allocation methods in low‐demand areas. The thesis is exemplified by drawing upon data derived from the authors' original research on the rehousing of sex offenders
