Ageing in place: Dementia-friendly engagement and design

Approximately 1 in every 14 people over the age of 65 will suffer dementia in the UK, but as citizens they are often excluded from consultation on the design of our places and cities. Dr Samantha Biglieri’s research seeks to change that. Her work, which lies at the intersection of public health and urban planning, asks what we can learn from engaging with people suffering from dementia. What are we missing when people with dementia are locked out of community engagement? What can the experience of dementia teach us about the liveability of our urban and suburban places?
