Ageing and Mobility: Planning and Designing for an Ageing Population
12 May 2023 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
As our growing population ages, the need for safe street design has never been more important. Not only is safe street design important to help reduce injury for the general public, but simple improvements also make environments accessible for older adults as well as inclusive to people with disability. Join Injury Matters with guest presenters Tim Judd and Dr Jane Bringolf in this seminar where we will explore how to plan and design for an ageing population in WA.
This seminar aims to:
- Increase knowledge of the link between street design and injury among older adult populations in WA
- Increase awareness of safer design principles
- Increase understanding of the older adult perspective on accessible street design
- Increase confidence in advocating for safe street design to reduce the risk of injury in older adults
Who should attend?
This seminar training is suitable for urban designers and developers, health promotion and public health professionals, Local Government community development officers, the transport and road safety sector, and injury prevention advocates.
