City of Longevity, Newcastle
At the launch of the National Innovation Centre for Ageing’s City of Longevity initiative in June 2023, the platform was listed among the founding partners — alongside Newcastle City Council, the North of Tyne Combined Authority, the Urban Observatory and both Newcastle universities — to co-develop generative-AI participatory design methods that engage older adults in shaping age-friendly urban space.

What the tool did
Real-time visualisation of design ideas, enabling seniors to contribute actively to the design process — the method offered into the partnership.
