Transforming sustainability into reality. Closing the gaps
Designers leave

Design has always been an
engine of human society and
culture-intimately shaping
how we communicate, identify,
play, and conduct business. It
is irrevocably interwoven with
the human experience.
That's no hyperbole.
Here are 25 WAYS
design has powered the past,
present, and future of our
global society.

AGING: Serving a Growing Population
Space for older populations has often been stigmatizing. According to
Jeremy Myerson, the Helen Hamlyn Chair of Design at the Royal College
of Art in London, all too often the focus has been on
addressing medical deficits and keeping people safe,
not on providing a special or quality experience.
But the world is becoming decidedly older.
According to the United Nations, the number of
people ages 60 years and above is projected to double
Jeremy Myerson globally by 2050, while the number of people ages 80
years and above will increase more than threefold by 2050. And this group
is savvier than ever. They are better educated, more connected, and have
more discerning tastes than generations before them.
Instead of just playing a role in keeping this population safe, design is
helping to determine how successfully-and happily-this population ages,
Myerson says. It is affecting how they use commercial spaces, how they
work and travel, and what products and services they use.
Myerson says cities that emphasize such age-inclusive designs in their
public and private spaces will gain a competitive edge in the future. "We
are all going to age," he says. "Pursuing design innovations that support
longevity and mobility in the community will make cities more attractive to
businesses and residents in the future."
