Hello!

Welcome to the Design for Life mailing list - an occasional newsletter featuring research about ageing and urban design developed by Manchester School of Architecture (MSA).

I am Dr Mark Hammond, a senior lecturer at MSA with an interest in age-friendly homes, neighbourhoods and cities and the role of design, policy and practice in addressing inequality in later life. Over the last 10 years I have been fortunate enough to work with local government, housing associations, architects, property developers and thousands of older people on research projects across Greater Manchester, and look forward to sharing findings, reports and opportunities to hear about our current research in the coming months.

We are always looking for people who want to work with us on research projects and knowledge exchange, so please email me if you want to chat - m.hammond@mmu.ac.uk
