- 강연소개:

Ageing is often depicted negatively, but we challenge passive views, suggesting that an “active ageing” agenda requires rethinking economy, urban form and societal responses. Building from psychological the¬ories of ageing regarding disengagement and continuity, the presenter argues for an adjustment response at the societal level to address needed structural changes in economy, social policy and regional planning. These adjustments should prioritize well-being and purpose over economic growth; social policy that links household, informal and formal care and new approaches to urban and regional planning that remake cities for all ages. These societal adjustments will permit new approaches that could build a more inclusive world.

Mildred Warner is an international expert on restructuring local government services, how to plan for more child and age-friendly cities, and how to promote environmental sustainability at the local level. Decentralization has elevated the importance of local government worldwide, but social protection is challenged by devolution, privatization, and fiscal crisis. Cities must pick up the slack, and Warner's research explores how. She has authored more than 200 journal articles, book chapters, and professional reports and has received major research grants from government and foundations. Warner works closely with local government, planners, policy analysts, economic developers, and union leaders both in the U.S. and abroad. She received her B.A. in history from Oberlin College and her M.S. in agricultural economics and Ph.D. in development sociology from Cornell.
