Mobility, Mood and Place is a cross-university collaborative research project which investigates the relationship between older people and the built environment. Three discrete work packages have investigated the age friendly co-design of urban and rural environments, mapped older people’s emotional responses to moving through the city, utilising neural imaging technology and ethnographic methods and studied the effect of particular urban places on people’s health over a lifetime.
Work package 1 has engaged older people with students of Architecture and Landscape in research activities and co-design exercises based in Copenhagen, Manchester, London and the island of Orkney.
The exhibition principally documents the results of Work package 1, led by Iain Scott, called ‘Co-Created Environments’. Project methodologies, case study design projects and age friendly conclusions are all presented.

Originality: New Knowledge
New knowledge takes analytical, methodological and design based forms.
Findings summarised in the exhibition have been presented by the MMP team in journal papers and conference contributions over the course of the last three years.
Key Analytical Findings Include:
Older people expressed a desire to see the older artefacts of the city, including buildings and infrastructure, given new life by propositions which reveal the layers of history of built form as a way of uncovering richer spatial, cultural and social narratives of a longer duration.
Methodological Findings:
Methodological Insights from the three years of MMP is being disseminated through a tool-kit detailing an ‘A-Z of Age Friendly Co-Design’, highlighting a compendium of approaches to be considered in designing engagements with older people. The A-Z forms part of this exhibition. Targeted at designers, user groups, community groups and policymakers the tool-kit will provide a shorthand guide to key issues to consider, along with references to further published material.
Design outcomes include:
Speculations on the design of the edges of public space to allow older people to ‘rest, retreat and regard’ (see image), and the co-dependence of pathway networks and buildings in the age friendly rural landscape.
‘Rest, Retreat and Regard’ from ‘Rooting Traces and Spatial Transformation in the Fragmented Garden City.’ Deansgate, Manchester. Knight, Sharpe & Phillips.

Rigour: A Process of Investigation.
 What we know:
WHO Age Friendly Cities guidance and other sources for instance ‘An Alternative Age Friendly Handbook’ produced by the RIBA, Age UK, Age Friendly Manchester - and other sources.
Knowledge tends to be presented as a checklist which is universal. Designers require to have knowledge of the issues and to investigate through research how these issues become particularised or transformed by place specificity.
Over the course of three years we developed through an iterative process a series of research engagements which would operate at five distinct scales of City, Neighbourhood, Building, Space and Body.
Research methods employed to operate at the scale of the City and the Neighbourhood included environment and behaviour research methods intended to provide a deeper understanding of place through the eyes of an older inhabitant, along with co-design exercises entitled ‘Save It/ Change It!...Design It!...Share It’!
Home based research methods devised to provide insights for designers at the more intimate scales were developed following analysis of literature on the determinants of satisfaction in relation to residential environments amongst older adults and the essential components of an age friendly city found in the World Health Organisation’s ‘Global Age Friendly Cities: A Guide’ (2007)
