| Annotation | How can cities - which have been designed for youth - be encouraged to accommodate an ageing population and keep the over 60s healthier for longer? The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a programme to develop age-friendly cities: the Age Friendly Cities Network was established in 2010. The author reports on projects in Berlin, Duisberg, New York and London. The latter scheme is the "shared space" in Exhibition Road, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, which is modelled on pilot schemes in the Netherlands and Denmark. (RH). |
