An Empathic Participatory Design Tool
Step into a curated collection where every picture tells a narrative about actual lived experiences in the city.
Our Vision
A New York City and beyond where older adults’ diverse voices and lived experiences shape a more equitable, resilient, and joyful future for all.
Mission
To provide a platform where older adults’ voices are amplified so they can be central in co-creating programs, policies, and partnerships that advance our collective vision of equity, resilience, and joy in our communities.
Using the Tool
Developed with both participants and a broad range of stakeholders in mind—including government agencies, urban designers, developers, building managers, researchers, and grassroots advocates—this platform serves as an open-access resource that centers community voices. It houses a continually expanding gallery and searchable database that captures lived experiences, personal narratives, and hyperlocal knowledge. Together, these stories and insights help inform more inclusive, equitable, and responsive decision-making across sectors.
