Where We Grow Older looks at how the growing aging population is reshaping architectural and

social constructs and questions the role of urban design and politics in

facing these challenges. The film investigates two models of how care and

housing can be reconceived in light of prolonged lives: public housing as

part of municipal policies and infrastructure—where the city is the

caretaker—and the creation of a new architectural model that offers care in

a single building managed by private entities not only to the elderly but

also to their caretakers—where the building becomes the city.
