M. Powell Lawton Click hereto see a short video about Lawton.
M. Powell Lawton, Ph.D., was a behavioral psychologist and international authority on aging. He was a major force in shaping national public policy to enhance the quality of life for the elderly. Lawton's groundbreaking research, writings and teachings on the physical, psychological, and environmental and social aspects of aging garnered numerous awards and grants from governmental agencies and private foundations. He was the first to recognize the importance of designing living environments for the elderly, particularly those with Alzheimer's disease. The M. Powell Lawton Award and Conference on Urban Aging were created by Philadelphia Corporation for Aging to honor his contributions, and to provide a forum for learning, discussion and recognition of others whose work exemplifies the spirit of his legacy.
