Urban Ageing

Urban ageing refers to the growing number of older adults living in cities worldwide. As life expectancy increases and birth rates decline, a larger proportion of city residents are seniors. This shift presents challenges such as ensuring accessible healthcare, affordable housing, and transportation tailored to older needs. Urban ageing also offers opportunities to foster inclusive communities that support independence and social engagement for seniors. Effectively managing urban ageing requires thoughtful planning and policies that address these demographic changes, promoting healthy, active ageing within vibrant city environments.
