Abstract
Australia has an ageing population. Decision-makers must therefore prioritise strategies that best incorporate the diverse voices of older people into the built environment. The effective use of public space is a key part of this conversation. While providing physical factors, such as ramps and well-maintained footpaths is important for creating an effective ‘age friendly’ public space, it is also important to consider the experiences and needs of the community in reshaping these environments.Working in partnership with the City of Tea Tree Gully, aged care services provider ECH (Enabling Confidence at Home) and the Office for the Ageing, SA Health, an interdisciplinary team of Match Studio students and academics explored the application of age friendly community principles in a real-world setting. Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, Match Studio, City of Tea Tree Gully, ECH Inc and Office for the Ageing, SA Health.
