Aging Playfully"Aging Playfully is a paradigm-shifting contribution to age-friendly design, illuminating the overlooked power of play for older adults.From personal anecdotes to empirical evidence, Maxwell Hartt brilliantly dismantles the risk-averse, joyless status quo and advocates that play -spontaneous, social, or even risk-taking -is not a luxury but an essential pillar of dignified, vibrant later life.A must-read for planners, urban designers, and architects building truly inclusive communities."
