“The first year was a bit like the first year of a marriage--but with 25 people rather than justone.\over50. Tisdall, an arts consultant in her early 60s, moved into the New Ground Complex in northLondon just over a year ago.
Tisdall was lucky to secure one of the 26 apartments in the development. Its L-shapeddesign, with a single entrance that takes residents past the common room, is intended to fostercasual social interaction, and there is a communal garden and space to cook and share mealstogether. Residents are aged between 50 and 90.
The development is managed by the Older Women's Co-housing community, set up tobring the principle of co-housing communities established in Germany, Denmark, theNetherlands and the UK.
“There are not many options for the old in the UK,\says Maria Brenton, a foundingmember.“One third of over 65s live on their own, which causes loneliness and ill health, andtwo thirds of those are older women. Older people I have researched don't want to live ininstitutions like a care home. And they often say they don't want to end up like their parents--isolated and lonely.\
With the world's population getting older and more urban, the needs of older residents willplay an increasingly important part in the shaping of cities. According to UN figures, the numberof over 60s is set to double by 2050. All cities will need to adapt to meeting this massivedemographic change.
Currently more than 700 cities in 39 countries are signed up for the World HealthOrganization's global network of age friendly cities and communities to promote healthy ageingand improve the quality of life for people over 60.
