| Annotation | The focus is on housing arrangements that might enable people to live to the end of their lives, with their health and care needs met or supported, in places that are valued both by them and other people. In Part One, on policy and technology debates, eminent contributors look at how forms of accessible housing have been promoted or resisted. They discuss choices and demand for "third age housing"; Lifetime Homes; the politics of accessible housing in the UK; the implications of smart home technologies; and dementia and technology. In Part Two - New Lives for Old? - authors with a range of recent research experience discuss issues that have arisen in living environments that embrace accessibility and social inclusion: the effects on older people's interaction of high-rise housing, conventional sheltered housing, and shared housing for people with dementia; CoHousing Communities in the Netherlands; Retirement communities in the UK; designing a home for life; and inclusive housing: what does it mean, imply and demand?
