Abstract

The ageing population is a global phenomenon that is gradually modifying the demographic structures of our cities, imposing a change in the housing demand for seniors, aimed at making the elderly more productive, autonomous and independent, also through the use of modern digital technologies. According to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the 2030 Agenda, the paper investigates the main research guidelines on the theme, in order to identify the orientations and specificities that will condition the next culture of the project, in the particular case of residential interventions for the elderly. The study shows a differentiated knowledge framework in which various housing models and the possible application of advanced ICT/IOT systems are explored, considering the most sustainable and innovative design solutions, in order to delineate strategies and design tools useful for future replicable interventions in different contexts of use.
