SmartAging Podcast #34 From One Room to a Whole Neighbourhood
11 November 2026
From one room to a whole neighborhood: can we shape where we grow older?
What if the ideas behind the Social Oasis could extend beyond a shared room and contribute to the design of an entire building or even a neighborhood?
In this episode, host Pasi Rantanen talks with Olga Rantanen about community-led living, crowdfunding, collective investment, and how people could have a stronger voice in shaping their future homes and living environments.
Drawing on Olga’s experience in real estate and New European Bauhaus projects, the discussion explores how shared spaces and participatory approaches could support more inclusive, social, and age-friendly communities.
The European Union co-funds SmartAging through the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme.
