Finding ways to make these lives better is a win-win-win: for older consumers; for aging economies; and for companies and the regions where they reside. This much-needed volume edited by Joseph Coughlin and Luke Yoquinto, \u003ci\u003eLongevity Hubs\u003c\/i\u003e, brings together contributors--entrepreneurs, researchers, designers, public servants, and others--who are addressing the multifaceted concerns of aging societies. Together, they explore the possibility that specific regions will soon distinguish themselves as \u003ci\u003elongevity hubs: \u003c\/i\u003ea home to disproportionate economic and innovative activity for older populations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf a region were to emerge as such a disproportionate hotspot, that area and its home nation might better weather some of the challenges posed by population aging, while at the same time providing a cash injection into the local economy thanks to aging markets domestic and foreign. \u003ci\u003eLongevity Hubs \u003c\/i\u003eexplores strategies adopted by different areas' government and industry leaders to promote such activity; who different regions' target markets are; and how local, older adults may affect (and be affected by) innovation in their area. \u003ci\u003eLongevity Hubs\u003c\/i\u003e opens on Greater Boston, with the collected articles comprising the \"Longevity Hub\" special project that ran in the \u003ci\u003eBoston Globe \u003c\/i\u003ein 2021 and 2022. Then the book zooms out to take in a more global stage, in the form of nine chapters written by representatives of cities and regions staking a claim as powerhouses of aging innovation. These include Louisville, in the US; Newcastle, in the UK; Dubai; Milan; São Paulo; Tel Aviv; regions in Japan and Thailand; and Aging2.0, a distributed network.","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45036946882711,"sku":"9780262049214","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262049214.webp?v=1769214168","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/longevity-hubs-regional-innovation-for-global-aging-9780262049214","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
