Brief description Designing liveable neighbourhoods to support healthy ageing. This project aims to identify whether neighbourhood liveability influences healthy ageing, and the extent to which this association is modified by individual preferences and socioeconomic disadvantage using longitudinal analyses. The research expects to generate new knowledge on urban design that supports healthy ageing, which is mostly derived from cross-sectional studies. Expected outcomes include evidence-based recommendations for informing urban design and health policies to support healthy ageing and ageing in place, which is a key government agenda in Australia. This should provide benefits such as the delivery of high quality liveable environments that support healthy ageing and reduced aged care expenditure.
