Publications
Our publications showcase MUARG’s research on ageing, inequalities, and urban change.
We explore inequalities experienced by older individuals in low-income areas, the impacts of social exclusion, and collaborate with minoritised groups to amplify their voices. Our research on ageing in place examines the role of home and neighbourhood environments, empowering community-based support systems and fostering international collaborations for age-friendly urban planning.
Additionally, we engage older people and stakeholders as co-producers of knowledge, shaping policy and practice through community-engaged approaches, and partnering with cultural institutions and creative industries to pioneer new methodologies. Explore our list of publications to discover the breadth and depth of our research contributions.
