Course Description
Senior living market dynamics and consumer expectations are increasingly challenging the status quo for relevance, resilience, and inclusivity. This session presents the latest findings from the SAGE/AIA Design for Aging Joint Intergenerational Task Force (IGTF), now in its third year of advancing knowledge at the intersection of aging, design, and intergenerational engagement. Building on a multi-wave Delphi survey, an expert charrette workshop, and the development of an intergenerational roadmap, this session reveals new insights and real-world applications from diverse stakeholders care providers, developers, designers, and residents. Presenters will share strategic frameworks, practical tools, and case study examples that highlight how intergenerational initiatives can unlock innovation, strengthen community identity, and create long-term value across generations. Whether you’re designing, developing, or operating senior living environments, this session will equip you with actionable strategies to differentiate offerings, enhance engagement, and meet the growing demand for meaningful multigenerational connections. Join us to explore what’s next in intergenerational design, and how your projects can lead the way in creating vibrant, future-ready communities.
