Older people often face isolation, through no fault of their own, but due to the structure of our society with its obsession with youth. In Sweden, a housing development challenges this isolation: an apartment block with shared facilities, except young and old live together and agree to socialize for at least two hours a week. By having common facilities it is much cheaper than each person living on their own replicating the expensive provision of individual services. May such ideas spread across the world.
