Professor Chris Phillipson was quoted in an article in the Guardian entitled "Our Cities Must Undergo a Revolution for Older People". This refers to Chris's term "self-imposed house arrest" which he believes can be brought about as a result of cities not being designed or organised with older people in mind.
