Longevity Hubs Edited by Joseph F. Coughlin & Luke Yoquinto (MIT Press)2024

In Longevity Hubs: Regional Innovation for Global Aging – a collection in 20 chapters of essays edited by Joseph F. Coughlin and Luke Yoquinto, you will be taken on a journey that is laid out thematically first by topic area, (transportation, caregiving, finances and housing for instance).

Then geographically, chapters take a look at examples in essays from individuals in what are called “Global Hub Candidates” such as Japan, the UK and Brazil.

Early on in the book, the co-authors offer their broad definition of a longevity hub as “any hot spot characterized by a disproportionate level of innovative activity aimed at the older population and related markets”.

And that’s the heart of the matter, as a longevity society, while we tend to live longer lives, there is a market for products, services and public programs in a longevity economy that address the needs of older diverse populations – ever developing and demanding.
