Abstract

In considering the role of place in supporting positive well-being choices for all, including older people, there has been an almost exclusive focus on issues of design in the public realm. Emerging findings from the Co-Motion project suggest that the experience of being out and about can be also facilitated or profoundly damaged by the attitudes and behaviours of fellow public realm users.
