Produktbeschreibung

The populations of Australia and many other countries in the Asia Pacific region are ageing significantly. This profound change in population balance represents a potential global shift in design for society. This will challenge designers, planners and health care professionals to develop solutions to meet the needs of our growing and diversifying populations of older citizens, in relation to housing, community interaction and co-operation, health and well-being and the integration of new technologies.

This book discusses 'design for healthy ageing' from a multi-faceted perspective of design and health practitioners. It is an important resource for design and health academics, as well as professionals in urban, architectural, interior, industrial, multimedia, fashion and user-experience design. It provides insights and ideas for healthcare professionals across a range of disciplines, including medical practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists and those working in aged-care facilities and government offices.

Through case studies of a series of workshops run in China and Singapore with Australian, Chinese and Singaporean students, Cross-Cultural Design for Healthy Ageing reviews the benefits of a multidisciplinary approach and provides a framework for engaging designers, planners and health professionals in the process of creating new design solutions for our growing global ageing population.
