The Ageing Well and Planning Survey - Have your say!
We have an ageing population and this ageing population brings with it a range of social and economic issues that can and should be addressed in part through the planning system.
Planning colleagues across 香港六合彩资料图库 are working together with Public Health at the Council, to look at how they can address the issues of ageing well through creating healthier and more adaptive, inclusive environments to grow old in.
The aim of this work in partnership with our District Planning colleagues and Public health, is to identify the issues of ageing well and how to address them in relation to the planning system.
Before we do this, it is first important for us to understand what ageing well embodies and how it can be made more attainable.
This survey seeks to understand more about you, your views on ageing well and what it means for you and your family.
The consultation will run from 1 October until 3 November 2024, and the findings from this survey will be used to draft a research paper and to inform future work on land use planning for ageing well.
