New public spaces tend to overrepresent attention to the young and middle-aged, whereas elderly citizens are often neglected by contemporary urban design practice.
“Age-Inclusive Public Space” provides inspiration as well as theoretical and practical knowledge on how to design public space to meet the needs of people of all ages. Conceived as a dialogue between practicing architects and contributors from a variety of disciplines, this book combines academic research, architectural case studies, and introduces an age-inclusive design methodology. The drawings, photographs and illustrations of contemporary built environments, historic gardens, art installations and atmospheric landscapes presented here provide a holistic appreciation of the many factes of age-inclusive spatial practice.
