With nearly 10,000 baby boomers moving into retirement every day, The Atlantic examined the shape of the new old age and its impact on society. What will the new patterns of our life span look like? How will our youth-centered culture reflect new societal realities? How will retirement and work shift as Americans live longer? What role will technology and design play in facilitating the new opportunities and mitigating the challenges of the new old age?

Christian González-Rivera participated in a panel titled “City Living Never Grows Old” with Lindsay Goldman of the New York Academy of Medicine and Deirdre Scott of the Bronx Council on the Arts.
