| Annotation | The perception of older residents as a homogeneous group is challenged by the diversification of lifestyles and emphasis on individuality in housing. Recently, there has been a rise in Finland in housing projects initiated by groups of older people, where the seniors themselves are seeking to fill in qualitative gaps in the offering of housing. This article presents a comparative analysis of four senior housing concepts that represent both a producer-driven ("for the elderly") and a resident-driven ("by the elderly") approach. The study shows that older people can be a resource for residential development, and that this necessitates a different "design logic" to that in conventional senior housing. (RH). |
