AnnotationPublic Health England commissioned the Housing LIN (Learning and Improvement Network)to produce this briefing, which looks at how different aspects of the built environment can promote and sustain active ageing. It includes case studies, and good practice examples on issues such as outdoor falls, environmental factors, and making outdoor spaces that are attractive and help promote well-being. It is intended for those working in social housing, local government, and the care and support sectors to understand their roles in developing and maintaining a built environment that contributes to active ageing.
