ABOUT THIS CPD EVENT
Building Regulations in South Africa do not require houses to be designed so that they comply with specific requirements for the elderly or differently-abled. Our society is getting on in years. Increasing life expectancies accompanied by a drop in births are leading to a drastic shift in our age structure – a process that calls for new strategies and responses in a great variety of areas. Housing construction, too, must react with new and intelligent solutions.
The concept of Integrated Living is one of the possible responses to this challenge. Integrated housing facilities such as multiple-generation homes are supposed to offer older people a social environment that encourages their integration into society, much more than specialized senior facilities ever could. At the same time, they allow seniors to remain in their own homes longer, where they can continue to lead highly self-determined lives.
Changes in our society require new residential concepts. As traditional family bonds dissolve before our eyes, the classic nuclear family as a communal household is being replaced ever more frequently by singles, childless pairs, and single-parent families. At the same time, it is important to integrate immigrants and the disabled.
