Age-Forward 2030
About the Age-Forward 2030 Program
The Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging's Age-Forward 2030 program engages cross-sectoral policymaking to help communities prepare for an older, increasingly diverse, and economically stratified population.
Our work challenges communities to advance inclusive economic development, resilience, age-friendly innovation, technology solutions, and civic engagement.
2019 Innovation Award
The City of Berkeley is the winner of the 2019 Innovation Award presented by The SCAN Foundation in collaboration with the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging. The 2019 Innovation Award recognized California cities that are preparing “for the growth of their older adult populations, and embracing innovation opportunities.” The criteria were based on the Milken Institute’s Age-Forward 2030 research and three priority areas:
-
Age-Forward economic development.
-
Age-inclusive 21st-century city design.
-
Resilient networks for healthy aging.
The City of Berkeley was recognized as the winner for its exceptional efforts to improve the lives of older adults through the Berkeley Age-Friendly Continuum’s action plan, released in January 2019.
