Description
As ageing populations continue to grow worldwide, the increased need for adequate housing and social care comes into stark focus. This multi-disciplinary book explores how emerging citizen-led innovations in Collaborative Housing, Ageing and Social Care are challenging mainstream ways of living and ageing.
Combining academic theory with practice, the book demonstrates the far-reaching impacts collaborative housing with care can have on independence, agency, and wellbeing in later life. With contributions from France, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the UK, it offers insights into the key challenges and opportunities associated with developing and sustaining models of collaborative housing with diverse forms of care and support over the life-course.
Essential reading for academics, practitioners, and policymakers in housing, planning, social care, design, and social gerontology, this book proposes a renewed focus on non-paternalistic forms of social and housing care that speak directly to older people's needs, and that work against the marketisation of care and towards a community-led and co-managed approach in later life housing for all.
