With the aging global population, the relationship between older people and their residential environments is increasingly important. This relationship is based on the match between the individual characteristics of a person, their needs and expectations, and the characteristics of their environment. By creating access to various health improvement factors and exposure to various risk factors, the conditions under which an individual ages can be modified. This helps to accelerate or decelerate the process of incapacitation that individuals undergo as they age. This can also reduce or reinforce socio-spatial inequalities, which underlie the preponderant role of territory and spatial policies in the prevention and promotion of healthy aging. This chapters supports the process for developing the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020 – 2030) aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG3).

This chapter aligns with UN SDG 4 and 10 and the Māori’s continuous struggle to teach and center their own history despite having their pasts displaced in the education system by British history which dismissed local Indigenous pasts as unreliable myths and “pre-history.” Māori have resisted this “mis-education” for more than a century, fighting to reclaim the past on their own terms. This essay reflects on the enduring struggle that eventually led to the reset, and ongoing skepticism, of the National History curriculum in Aotearoa for all schools from 2023.
