This report finds that inter-generational trust, built through frequent encounters and better-designed housing and transport is key to an all-age-friendly city. The report depicts possible ideas for improving cities, from digital aids for encouraging accidental encounters between generations, to sentiment mapping and modular housing for intergenerational relationships. It explores how shared service hubs could bring generations together, as well as skill-based currencies and digital platforms that could enable a shift from generations co-habiting in public space to true sharing. The report looks at the intersection between the World Health Organisation’s work on age-friendly cities and UNICEF’s work on child-friendly cities. It aims to spot potential conflicts in the design and use of cities by older and younger citizens, as well as understand where these groups of citizens have the same needs and so can use cities in new collaborative ways.

The Global Footprint Network provides the Living Planet Report’s measure of humanity’s Ecological Footprint, which calculates the amount of biologically productive land and sea required to produce all the resources a population consumes and to absorb its waste, with prevailing technology.
