In the face of ageing societies and continued rural-to-urban migration, the institutions of the city – of education, governance, regulation, infrastructure and health – need to adapt quickly to demographic change and the new 21st century population. So warned Professor Sarah Harper, director of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing, as she closed the first Healthy City Design International Congress in London this week with a stirring keynote lecture.
Organised by SALUS Global Knowledge Exchange in collaboration with The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design, Royal College of Art, the Healthy Cities Design 2017 International Congress & Exhibition will be held at the Royal College of Physicians, London, on 16–17 October, 2017.
