Intergenerational neighbourhoods and communities aligned with the New European Bauhaus

About this grant

Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Demonstrated methodology is used by architects, spatial planners, designers and other relevant actors to identify the extent to which neighbourhoods [1] and communities [1] are intergenerational [1] .

The demonstrated solutions make a significant contribution to intergenerational living and measurably advance the green transition in the neighbourhoods (for example in the field of sustainable mobility, accessibility, climate-resilience, water resilience, and/or biodiversity conservation). Scope: Research shows that countries with lower age-related inequalities have higher levels of life satisfaction overall [5] , and that governments that balance the needs and interests of the present and future generations have higher levels of trust [6] . There is an increasing body of research on solutions such as ‘independent living’, ‘age-friendly housing’ and ‘smart multi-generational neighbourhoods’ and their benefits. Although different more cost-efficient solutions have been developed over the years, the focus of investments remains on costly age-segregated housing and communities for older adults (such as large nursing homes and large assisted living...
