Age-proofing Aotearoa’s infrastructure | Webinar

New Zealand is experiencing rapid change in its population and demographics. Today, around 17 per cent of the population is over 65; by 2078, up to one third of the population may be 65 or older. Just how prepared is the country to cater for a potential 700,000 more people aged over 65 in the next twenty five years? Our report, released October 2025 with WSP in New Zealand, Age-proofing Aotearoa: Rethinking our infrastructure for an ageing population, explores the impact of this transformative demographic change on the country’s infrastructure needs. It investigates the implications for health, housing, aged care, transport and urban design, and provides practical policy recommendations for how we can best prepare for this shift, with a focus on achieving equitable outcomes for all. In this webinar our expert panellists discussed the key findings of the report and shared their expertise about how the country needs to be responding to what is both a generational challenge, and an opportunity to design cities that work better for everyone.
