Rezensionen

"The case studies of ICZs provoke much needed information-sharing and mutual learning for practitioners, community-builders, policymakers, planners, designers, and researchers across boundaries and borders. It is a timely and generative read, offering tangible insights for various audiences currently imagining and building those intergenerational communities and societies many of us desperately want and need...I urge practitioners and academics from these disciplines to read this book and contribute to core learnings on the physical, political, and institutional components of the ICZ framework." - Book Review by Meghan Joy, Concordia University, in Anthropology and Aging, Journal of the Association for Aging and Gerontology, Vol 41, No 1 (2021)
