Global Age-friendly Cities movement

The Global Age-friendly Cities movement is an international initiative encouraging cities to become welcoming and supportive for people of all ages, especially older adults. It promotes urban environments that enable active aging by improving infrastructure, services, and community engagement—such as accessible transportation, safe public spaces, and relevant healthcare. The goal is to enhance quality of life, independence, and participation for seniors, ensuring cities are inclusive and adaptable for a growing global aging population. This movement is guided by the World Health Organization and involves collaboration among governments, organizations, and communities.
