Assoc Prof Fung Featured in CNA’s documentary, “Adapting to Ageing”

 

Ever wondered how our ageing population is coping in our modern landscape? To better understand this, in the fourth episode of the Channel NewsAsia documentary, Challenge Tomorrow, titled ‘Adapting to Ageing’, actor Joshua Tan went on a quest to find out how an ageing population is re-shaping societies in Japan, Australia, the United States and Singapore. This episode featured comments by Associate Professor Fung John Chye from the Department of Architecture at National University of Singapore, where he shared how well-designed public spaces would encourage the elderly to come out of their houses to interact with the community and avoid social isolation.
