The Global Age-Friendly Cities Initiative

The Global Age-Friendly Cities Initiative is a project led by the World Health Organization to help cities become better places for people of all ages, especially older adults. It encourages cities to improve infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and social inclusion, making urban environments safer, more accessible, and more welcoming. The goal is to support healthy, active aging by creating communities where everyone, regardless of age, can participate fully and maintain a high quality of life. This initiative promotes sharing best practices and working collaboratively to address the diverse needs of aging populations worldwide.
