8. We need more thought leadership on how to navigate population declines

Nov 5

I am looking for updates or other research into which assets best benefit towns with declining and aging populations. Healthcare seems obvious so I am extra interested in whether new models are emerging as hospitals shut down, eg. what kind of critical care and ongoing care can operate at smaller scale.

THIS is a super cool concept that can alleviate senior isolation and many other issues:
