ities around the world are experiencing a large demographic shift as significant portions of their population age into older adulthood. As people age, their physical and cognitive worlds can shrink as they are increasingly likely to experience impairment or reduced mobility, leaving older adults vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. Consequently, age-friendly planning has emerged as a critical discourse for interventions to develop enabling environments that can minimize the risks associated with aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While preventative measures are important, there is more to inclusive design than caution and access. Built and social environments can instead be designed to actively promote older adult wellbeing\u2014not just minimize risk. Looking at Victoria, BC, Canada\u2019s oldest demographic city as a case study, my research involved conducting a participatory photovoice exercise with older adults to look understand (1) what environments limited their ability to play; and (2) what environments enabled them to play. In this presentation, we will look at some examples of features found in both limiting and enabling built environments to understand how playful spaces can reduce older adult isolation in cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
