Launch of the DWELL/ HousingLIN ‘Fit for Ageing’ one-day workshop

The University of Sheffield and the Housing LIN are delighted announce this workshop, presentation of research findings, and exhibition of co-design work from the EPSRC-funded DWELL project.

The aim of this event is to explore the changing role of the built environment in supporting the wellbeing and mobility of an ageing population. The workshop will provide an opportunity for a range of professionals to come together (built environment, planning, design, health, community development, housing, and commissioning) to explore how creative design-led thinking can be applied to age-friendly places – with the aim of developing new visions for our towns and cities and joining up diverse resources at time of shrinking budgets.

Date: 6 October 2016, 10.00-16.30

Venue: Millennium Gallery, Arundel Gate, Sheffield, S1 2PP (five minute walk from Sheffield Station)
