Lack Of Age-Friendly Homes Exposes ‘Hidden Housing Crisis’

England’s ‘hidden housing crisis’ is exposed in the severe lack of age-friendly homes – with demographics defining a quarter of the English population aged over 60 within five years. Yet new housing is being built with little regard to the needs of this ageing population, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) says. A new RIBA’s report emphasises the importance of “well-designed, purpose built” new homes that enable people to play a more active role in their communities as they age.
