More info on partners working on this roadmapTowards an Integrated Approach to Improving Quality of Life of Aging Population: Livability, Biodiversity and Decarbonization
The initiative led by Concordia University presents an integrated approach to enhancing the quality of life for aging populations through a focus on livability, biodiversity, and decarbonization. The initiative outlines a six-step roadmap emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and stakeholder engagement.The first step involves establishing key types of expertise and ensuring that the right people are involved. This is followed by drawing on existing frameworks and key literature to connect fields and foster a holistic understanding of quality in the built environment. The third step focuses on incorporating lived experiences. Subsequent steps include collecting and analyzing place-based data and creating interactive tools that facilitate community engagement and visualize site-specific conditions. The final step emphasizes the need to work with stakeholders to address and overcome institutional barriers. The roadmap highlights the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration, the potential for biodiversity to enhance livability, and the need to tackle institutional barriers. This approach aims to create more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive urban environments for aging populations.
