Age-Friendly City New Nursing Spaces for the Elderly

Abstract

The social and geographical profiles of cities are altering as a result of significant aging processes. Significant ageing processes are changing the social and spatial profile of cities. This project analyses the present situation and the profound influence of the social isolation of the elderly. In view of the medical reality in the aging process of the elderly, the focus will be on transforming the single traditional nursing space into a comprehensive space with residence and care integrated, providing an innovative way of Co-Living for the elderly, and emphasizing the potential and possibilities of the age-friendly community. Therefore, the study emphasizes the necessity to redesign and reorganize the living environment in Wood Green (London) with the goal of opposing the social isolation of the elderly.As a method of sharing, Co-Living serves an effective function to alleviate social isolation, which not only promotes their body and mind in the direction of health but also protects the dignity of the aged in utilizing space and receiving services. In this case, design elements should be considered in terms of diverse spatial forms that allow residents to improve physically, mentally, and emotionally. In addition, the impact of nature on health will also be explored using the expanding body of research related to environmental psychology for reference.
