Global Age-Friendly Cities

Global Age-Friendly Cities are urban areas that actively design and adapt their environments, policies, and services to meet the needs of older adults. This includes accessible transportation, safe outdoor spaces, affordable healthcare, social engagement opportunities, and age-friendly housing. The goal is to create inclusive communities where seniors can live independently, stay connected, and enjoy a high quality of life. Recognized by the World Health Organization, these cities promote healthy aging and ensure planning and infrastructure support older residents’ well-being and participation in community life.
