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.
