| Annotation | A multidisciplinary team of researchers from global engineering firm Arup, Help Age International, Intel and Systematica examines how authorities are responding to the demographic shift towards an ageing population across 10 European cities (Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan and Paris). This report responds to two key issues: the global population is ageing at an unprecedented rate; and the global urban population is now larger than the rural population. The report highlights the need for a better understanding of the main features that make a city age-friendly in terms of transport facilities, income, outdoor spaces, building design, social inclusion, information and communications technology (ICT), and health services. The report explains how to apply these to a growing market related to city-making for citizens as they age. To do so, it presents statistical data as graphs, charts and maps, accompanied by other illustrative material, also interviews with older people and key contributors interested in making cities age-friendly.
