Tom Klingholz writes about the potential benefits of intergenerational living

Chapman Taylor UK Residential Director Tom Klingholz has written an Insight paper examining intergenerational living as a possible solution for some of the life challenges faced by individuals of all age groups and society at large.

Tom argues that disintegration of the communal family model and the rise of transient individualism has created societal challenges such as isolation, loneliness, economic hardship and a higher need for support or life mentorship

To solve these challenges, Tom makes the case for building arrangements that provide opportunities and spaces for interaction – spaces people can share and use to support each other, as well as to engage with the wider local community.

Tom’s paper suggests that intergenerational living can be the basis for sustainable and mutually supportive communities which increase the social and economic wellbeing of the people within them.
