We’re excited to see ISO 25553 reach this key milestone in the journey to develop smart multigenerational neighbourhoods. At Hodgkinson McCambridge, we’re honoured to be contributing to the implementation strategy, helping bring this vision to life as a physical reality. Delivering meaningful, user centred outcomes and creating real world impact is at the heart of what we do, and we look forward to collaborating with Ian and the wider team on this important work.
We're delighted to report that ISO 25553 has now reached the Committee Draft (CD) stage. This is the period when comments from ISO’s 172 national standards bodies are taken into consideration. This milestone in our journey to develop Smart Multigenerational Neighbourhoods wouldn't have been possible without the insights, expertise, and passion of contributors from around the world. To all the experts who shared their knowledge—you are helping shape a more inclusive, resilient future, and we truly value your input. We received nearly 600 constructive comments on the earlier Working Draft, and the project management team and ISO Working Group have worked tirelessly to refine the document, moving us closer to our collective vision. While it hasn't been possible to keep everyone updated at all times, please know that your contributions remain central to our mission. We are now entering an 8-week consultation phase during which the CD will undergo further review and comments. This period is crucial to ensure that the ISO 25553 framework reflects diverse global perspectives and maintains the high standards we all strive for. Leaders Forum 2025 I’m thrilled to announce that on May 14th, AAA will celebrate our 10th anniversary at the NatWest Conference Centre, 250 Bishopsgate, London, and online. This milestone Leaders Forum, supported by our valued partners at NatWest, promises an exceptional lineup of speakers and insights.
