Sustainability targets and climate change objectives cannot be met without addressing buildings and the built environment at the building, district and urban scale to include our transport and energy infrastructures. Renowned for showcasing results coming out of the EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme via the participation of cutting-edge research and innovation projects, the scope of Sustainable Places is captured directly in the name. It involves designing, building and retrofitting the places we live and work in a more sustainable way.

AGE Platform Europe is involved in the ATHLOS EU-funded project.

The aim of the project is to achieve a better understanding of ageing by identifying patterns of healthy ageing trajectories, the determinants of those patterns, the critical points in time when changes in trajectories are produced, and to propose timely public health interventions to optimise healthy ageing.

The project has launched a survey to gather opinions regarding which factors are most important for healthy ageing.

The survey can be completed in less than 5 minutes through the following link: ATHLOS Survey on Healthy Ageing Factors 5

Better Homes for Older Adults: Improving Construction, Health, Care, Design, Technology & Finance

The Agile Ageing Alliance (AAA) and Tata Steel launched Neighbourhoods of the Future 2019.

The convergence of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), potentially game-changing assistive technologies and big data analytics constitutes a golden opportunity to rethink the outlook for ageing populations, especially in terms of housing.

AAA asked expert stakeholders what, in an ideal world, our homes and neighbourhoods could look like in 10 to 20 years, and what steps must be taken now to disrupt the status quo and make their vision a reality?

Neighbourhoods of the Future 2019 captures the thoughts and predictions of a veritable `who’s who’ of distinguished experts and emerging thought leaders. In these pages, you will discover novel concepts for disrupting construction, finance, social and business models.
