As life expectancy rises, a larger proportion of Singaporeans are expected to live past the age of 100. Future seniors (aged 65 and above in 2040) have a different profile and face new challenges compared to the seniors of today. Existing mature public housing precincts, where most of such seniors are expected to live in,

need to adapt.

This thesis anticipates how trends in the four areas of mobility, health and wellness, work and learning as well as social contact present opportunities to create a neighbourhood environment that supports longer lives in the future. It takes a community-based approach to active and fulfilling 100-year lives through two moves: insertions made of a flexible, technology-enabled modular system (activity cores) and retrofitting selected residential blocks to support new living arrangements. These come together to create “ageless community hubs”, where residents of all ages support each other in pursuing purposeful activities and meaningful relationships.
