Age-Friendly Design is a concept that’s increasingly being considered and applied across councils and cities both in Australia and internationally. This conversation will bring together multiple views, to interrogate whether AFD allows for expansion beyond older-age considerations to an all-age inclusive approach to urban design.

Curated by Young Seniors + Co, the invited speakers will explore how the mixed needs of older-aged citizens overlap with the needs of other groups in our community.

This talk is part of the ‘Challenging the ageing narrative’ series being presented at MPavilion this season.

This event is part of Melbourne Design Week 2022.

In collaboration with

Wominjeka (Welcome). We acknowledge the Yaluk-ut Weelam as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet. Yaluk-ut Weelam means ‘people of the river camp’ and is connected with the coastal land at the head of Port Phillip Bay, extending from the Werribee River to Mordialloc. The Yaluk-ut Weelam are part of the Boon Wurrung, one of the five major language groups of the greater Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to the land, their ancestors and their elders—past, present and to the future.
