Abstract
Each year in Senior Citizens' Week the University of New South Wales sponsors a forum on one aspect of life of elderly people. The forum is a means for the University to show how it grapples, across discipline boundaries, with important issues in our society. In this year's forum our four speakers come from four diverse parts of the University, the Social Welfare Research Centre, the School of Architecture, the School of Health Administration, and the School of Community Medicine. Together they present a range of perspectives on post-retirement accommodation, a matter of great and increasing concern to the Australian community.
