| Annotation | Cities are home to 43.2% of those over 65 years old. In OECD countries, the population share of those aged over 65 reached 17.8% in 2010, up from 7.7% in 1950, and is expected to be 25.1% in 2050. This report was prepared as the final outcome of the OECD Sustainable Urban Development Policies in Ageing Societies project. It is organised in two parts, and explores the roles of cities in overcoming the challenges and in making the most of the opportunities caused by demographic shifts in ageing societies. Part 1, on sustainable urban development, examines trends, impact, policy strategies and governance of ageing societies. Part 2, on how cities are handling their ageing societies, comprises nine case studies: Toyama, Japan; Yokohama, Japan; Lisbon, Portugal; Calgary, Canada; Cologne, Germany; Brno, Czech Republic; Manchester, United Kingdom; Philadelphia, United States; and Helsinki, Finland. Each provides a demographic and economic overview, an assessment of the current ageing challenges, and an exploration of the policy actions and strategies. The report uses quantitative evidence in the form of bar charts, maps and other statistical presentations. This report is also available as PDF (ISBN 9789264231160) (at: http://www.oecd.org/regional/ageing-in-cities-9789... (RH) |
