 Abstract

This chapter explores intergenerational pathways for strengthening and sustaining communities. Distinctions are made between “mono-generational,” “multi-generational” and intergenerational conceptions of community and community development. References to a mono-generational community, community setting, or community building process generally allude to local development practices focused on a single generation. A multi-generational community or site is where multiple generations reside. Community members, despite age or generational grouping, have access to community settings and opportunity for involvement in community activity. Intergenerational approaches to community development tend to begin with a process of identifying respective (multi-generational) priorities for community change and then drawing upon common interests to frame, plan and create opportunities for joint learning and action. Various examples are presented of communities that have taken an intergenerational strategic approach to promoting civic engagement and responsive community development. Some considerations with regard to intergenerational environmental design are also introduced. This includes looking at how intergenerational contact zones, i.e., the spatial focal points of intergenerational encounters, can serve as a conceptual tool for studying complex, multi-generational community settings and as a design tool for creating innovative, responsive intergenerational meeting spaces.
