With a view to better understanding the life course of older adults, and their relationship with the built environment, AAA is currently collaborating with 34 academic and private sector partners across 14 countries, as part of SHAPES, a 24 million Euro, 4 year, demonstrator project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme. SHAPES aims to explore interactions between older adults, technology and the built environment, with partners committed to collaborating, sharing data and informing development of a new ISO standard for multigenerational neighbourhoods and a voluntary code of conduct upon which strategies and solutions can be built.
