By 2050, the global population of people over 60 will DOUBLE to reach 2.1 billion. In France, 25% of the population is already over 60, and starting in 2030, Boomers will massively reach the age of 85. This means more challenges related to loss of autonomy ahead. Faced with this demographic shift, we need to rethink our social and economic model, but also our housing, mobility, work, health, and social connections. How can we adapt our infrastructure and living spaces to be inclusive and suitable for all generations?

To tackle this question, the Strategic Foresight Team of Bouygues Construction has conducted a multi-partner approach internationally with experts from various fields. The trend report “Living Long, Living Well” explores the key levers, strategies, and best practices for creating projects that imagine new housing models, make our public spaces safer and more accessible, and include seniors in decision-making, because aging well is ultimately about living well together.
