Where We Grow Older

Details

Directed by Daniel Schwartz
2023, Canada, 30 minutes, English

Where will you live once you grow older? Will your city take care of you? How to design for the elderly, and for those who care for them?

Where We Grow Older looks at how the growing ageing population is reshaping architectural and social constructs and questions the role of urban design and politics in facing these challenges. The film investigates two models of how care and housing can be reconceived in light of prolonged lives: public housing as part of municipal policies and infrastructure—where the city is the caretaker—and the creation of a new architectural model that offers care in a single building managed by private entities not only to the elderly but also to their caretakers—where the building becomes the city.
