The Spatial and Social Configuration of Elderly Care Facilities in the Community 

Xiaoming Li discusses his PhD research, which aims to develop a network-based framework to uncover cross-scale socio-spatial relationships, and discusses the preliminary findings of a pilot study. Focussing on the ageing global population, Xiaoming explores community-based elderly care facilities (CECF) in a Chinese urban context, investigating how social interaction patterns of elderly care residents are shaped by spatial networks of both architectural layouts and urban fabrics where the facilities are located.
