"The Age-Friendly Communities" (initiative)

The Age-Friendly Communities initiative is a global movement aimed at making cities and neighborhoods more supportive and inclusive for older adults. It encourages communities to create environments that promote health, independence, and quality of life for seniors. This includes improving public transportation, ensuring access to healthcare, promoting social interaction, and enhancing safety. By engaging older adults in the planning process, the initiative seeks to create spaces that respect their needs and enable them to actively participate in community life, ultimately fostering an age-friendly society that benefits people of all ages.
