Deane Simpson    Young-Old. : Urban Utopias of an Aging Society / Deane Simpson ; . — Zürich: : Lars Müller Publishers, , 2015 . — 576 p. — Young-Old examines contemporary architectural and urban mutations that have emerged as a consequence of one of the key demographic transformations of our time: population aging. Distinguishing between different phases of old age, it identifies the group known as the “Young-Old” as a remarkable petri dish for experimental forms of subjectivity, collectivity, and environment. In investigating this field of latent urban and architectural novelty, Young-Old asserts both the escapist and emancipatory dimensions of these practices. A.
