WHO Age-Friendly Cities and Communities program

The World Health Organization's Age-Friendly Cities and Communities program promotes environments that improve the quality of life for older adults. It encourages cities and communities to become more inclusive and supportive by considering factors like accessible transportation, safe public spaces, health services, and social activities. The initiative aims to enhance older people's participation in community life, ensuring they can age with dignity and remain active and engaged. By fostering collaboration between local governments and residents, the program helps create spaces that respect and empower seniors, ultimately benefiting everyone in the community.
