Oasis is a program co-developed by older adults to strengthen and sustain their communities to support aging in place. The Oasis Evaluation and Expansion research team has been working with Oasis communities since 2018 to expand the program across Canada and to evaluate a number of health and well-being outcomes. This photo depicts a mural that represents the power of communities coming together. Each square of this mural was designed by an Oasis member from communities across Kingston and Belleville. Together, these squares form the Oasis logo, which was designed by members of the original Oasis community.

Youth and Urban Renewal

Sub-Saharan Africa is urbanizing rapidly, and young people make up >70% of the population in the majority of African cities. Combined with the fact that there is an emphasis on urban renewal projects and expansion of global investment in sub-Saharan Africa, exploring the relationship between youth and the new urban economy is critical to addressing issues of socio-political stability and sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa.
