About the Book

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. How can we design, develop and adapt urban environments to better meet the needs and aspirations of an increasingly diverse ageing population?  This edited collection offers a new approach to understanding the opportunities and challenges of creating ‘age-friendly’ communities in the context of urban change. Drawing together insights from leading voices across a range of disciplines, the book emphasises the urgent need to address inequalities that shape the experience of ageing in urban environments. The book combines a focus on social justice, equity, diversity and co-production to enhance urban life. Exploring a range of age-friendly community projects, contributors demonstrate that, despite structural obstacles, meaningful social change is achievable at a local level.

Review :
"This is a book that genuinely moves us forward. It is reassuring and encouraging to see a collaborative group of researchers reframe the challenges and potentials of creating age-friendly urban places by reimagining them through the critical lenses of diversity, equity, and co-production. To accomplish this in a way that moves us toward social and spatial justice and counteracts the currently pervasive trend in the opposite direction is fitting testimony to the pioneering contributions of Chris Phillipson to whom the volume is dedicated." Graham D. Rowles, University of Kentucky. “An essential contribution to understanding issues of ageing, inequality and social justice. This collection offers fresh perspectives on creating inclusive age-friendly environments. Insightful and timely." Ryan Woolrych, Heriot-Watt University "In a world rife with widening inequalities, Buffel and colleagues propose a radical approach to creating age-friendly cities... and they show us how to get there." Norah Keating, University of Alberta, North-West University and Stirling University “A groundbreaking book, offering a reimagined theoretical framework alongside novel empirical research that will inspire everyone working towards fairer and more inclusive age-friendly cities and communities.” Joost van Hoof, The Hague University of Applied Sciences
