Nina Hansen
Nina became interested in universal design and age-friendly city concepts with the ageing-well project at U3A Yarra City (University of the Third Age). The project involves working closely with Council, fellow advocates, and academics on molding overarching concepts for local needs. Nina’s interest in changing demographics, emerging trends, implications and impact on policy, planning and design started at the beginning of her career when she joined a pioneering social futures group in London. Before she became an accidental advocate for age-friendly design, she was Director of Communications for Hong Kong University Business School and lectured on international MBA programs.
