The aging society causes problems on three different scales. For cities in general, for the residential housing for elderly and for people who live (elderly) and ‘work’ (healthcare organizations) inside the buildings. The existing elderly homes as well as public spaces can not accommodate the growing numbers of elderly anymore. Due to this fact and the transitions in the elderly care policy, there is need to rethink the architecture of home and living environments for elderly. We must start to think about new concepts for a more inclusive environment for elderly. The goal of this project is to provide Harderwijk with an urban structure where elderly can dwell, live life and interact with each other but also with other target groups, because we have to get rid of hiding elderly in nursing homes, they should become part of society again! With other target groups I think for example about people who need revalidation, so create a link with the hospital which is located nearby the site. The urban structure will provide residences but it will also become a vital network which prevents loneliness and creates a vibrant community. This new social ecosystem will put the elderly in the centre of society. Nowadays, the pace of the world is so fast that not only elderly, but people of all ages, get anxious, overwhelmed and overstimulated quite easily. They will take a step back from society due to this fast pace and that’s where loneliness kicks in. In order to make elderly part of society, it is important to slow down the city to the speed of the elderly. Make them feel comfortable and safe, in that way you will motivate vulnerable elderly to go out again. So, in order to create an inclusive environment for elderly you need to start at the urban fabric. Only a building can not solve the problem, the whole urban network around it should be upgraded as well.
