This project explored the use of data analysis and representation to understand the spatial implications of structural discrimination across Stockport Borough.
The Ageing in Place Pathfinder is a complex whole system public health intervention focussed on the role of place across the life course with an emphasis on later life.
The rightsizing project responded to the observation that a potentially very large number of older people were living in unsuitable accommodation for later life or had an expressed preference to move home but very few (<4%) every year did actually move house and of those less than half moved into smaller properties i.e it is incorrect to assume that older people seek to ‘downsize’.
The Manchester Age Friendly Neighbourhoods project explored the systematic implementation of the Old Moat Age Friendly Neighbourhood prototype for co-produced place-based urban planning for health across the life course through creating 5 resident led multi-stakeholder age friendly partnerships in deprived wards across Manchester City.
This project was commissioned by Manchester City Council to explore how the Manchester city centre operates as a place to live for older people, investigating what ‘neighbourhoods’ exist and what they are like.
