SUMMARY:Living Together by Design: Housing to Connect Generations
DESCRIPTION:This half-day event hosted by the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies will explore cutting-edge intergenerational designs.  Intergenerational housing and communities—places that purposefully house people of all ages—offer powerful ways to reduce social isolation\, improve affordability\, and strengthen access to supports. While intergenerational living is not a new idea\, recent innovative models provide valuable insights into housing designs and policies that build community\, foster autonomy and interpersonal connections\, and address affordability. This half-day event will bring together leaders from architecture\, planning\, homebuilding\, environmental gerontology\, public health\, and related fields to explore cutting-edge intergenerational designs—from flexible homes that adapt to the needs of multigenerational families to larger communities that foster daily interactions and shared support. This half-day event will explore how thoughtful design\, policy\, and programming can shape more inclusive\, resilient\, and connected places to live. \nAgenda\n1:00 pm — Welcome\nChris Herbert\, Managing Director\, JCHS \n1:05 pm — Overview: The Scale and Scaling of Intergenerational Living\nJennifer Molinsky\, Director\, Housing an Aging Society Program\, JCHS \n1:30 pm — Panel 1\nSharing a Home: The Multigenerational Household\nDonna Butts\, Senior Fellow and former Executive Director\, Generations United\nNoelle Marcus\, Founder and CEO\, Nesterly\nNatasha Pilkauskas\, Associate Professor of Public Policy\, Gerald R.
