Result description
The most important reason to push age-friendly housing as a public policy is that people overwhelmingly want to live independently. But there are other forceful arguments for a public policy approach.
The Homes4Life Vision defines what the future could look like if potential benefits of investment at scale in smart age-friendly living environment are fully realized. The Vision is looking at 2040, when the percentage of citizens over 65 years old is expected to peak and the building stock will be less and less age friendly. In particular, the Vision analysis defines how the Homes4Life European Certification Scheme will be a strategic tool for the implementation of age-friendly environments from the stakeholders’ point of view.
A range of factors highly influences the chances of the vision to become a reality for everyone. Achieving the 2040 vision is a challenging task that requires a clear narrative of what must be done by each stakeholder, what are the potential benefits arising from their actions and the obstacles to be removed.
