Building Age-Friendly Communities
Samir Sinha · youtube · single
Geriatrician Samir Sinha asks a blunt question about the extra decades modern medicine has handed us: people are living longer, but are they living well? His talk sets out what an age-friendly community actually requires — housing, transport, health care and social life designed for people who intend to grow old where they already are.
Why it’s here: Older women live longer than men and are far more likely to be doing it alone, which makes the design of the place she lives anything but a neutral question. Sinha’s checklist is a useful frame for anyone weighing where and how to spend the next thirty years.
