| Annotation | msa projects is a graduate teaching group within Manchester School of Architecture, set up to collaborate with Manchester institutions on projects of relevance for the future of the city. In 2007, msa projects began a project with Manchester City Council Joint Health Unit to consider how city spaces and architectural constructions should respond to the city's ageing population, which will be a significant issue for many councils in the future. Engagement with older citizens through workshops and events, discussions with council officers and dissemination by public exhibition and publications were undertaken. This volume illustrates the results of final year students who have identified problematic scenarios in current relationships between city spaces and the ageing population. For example, one student deals with issues of dementia and inclusion reacting to the discovery that older people in UK care homes are legally exempt from the Human Rights Act. This monograph documents some of the projects and processes undertaken as part of the Ageless City project, which itself will help towards building a 'lifetime neighbourhood' within Manchester and its surrounding districts.
