This UIK summer course addresses different aspects related to the ageing of the population from a social, urban and architectural perspective, with contributions from complementary disciplines. From the urban to the housing scale, we will look at the needs and the socio-economic and gender factors that hinder the ageing process in order to analyse possible measures aimed at improving the quality of life of this section of the population and, through it, of society as a whole, taking into account their life cycles.
