On the next Your Call, we'll talk about what it's like to age in an urban setting and how cities can evolve to embrace older generations, who are living longer. By 2050, 1 in 5 Americans will be seniors. So how can sectors like the job market, urban design, and health care evolve to meet our changing demographic? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. What are the best ways to integrate elders into daily life in the city? It's Your Call with Holly Kernan and you.
