Description
This report provides an account of the preparations for and findings from a workshop undertaken to examine future scenarios for living in later life and the role of assistive technologies.
The workshop forms part of a collaborative project involving Lancaster University’s Centre for Mobilities Research 1 and the Centre for Transport & Society 2 at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). The Technologies and Travel project is funded by the ESRC. Its purpose is to examine how technologies outside of the traditional sphere of transport policy and practice combine with social practices to in turn influence patterns of travel and travel demand. This has concerned consideration of the past, present and future with a particular interest in the latter in relation to implications for present-day policymaking.
