| Annotation | Greater Manchester (GM) aims to become the UK's first 'age-friendly region'. This report outlines a strategy to help achieve this, by identifying a range of policy options, which build on evidence about demographic, social and economic changes that are likely to affect the region over the next two decades. Eight themes are discussed: Theme 1: Developing a regional policy on age-friendly issues; Theme 2: Promoting age-friendly programmes is a framework for social inclusion; Theme 3: Demographic change and age-friendly environments; Theme 4: Developing age-friendly neighbourhoods; Theme 5: Developing Greater Manchester as an age-friendly region for black and minority ethnic (BME) groups; Theme 6: Promoting good-quality housing as the key to age-friendly communities; Theme 7: Developing an age-friendly employment policy; and Theme 8: Promoting an age-friendly environment in Greater Manchester. The report should be viewed as a contribution to the work of the GM Ageing Hub, established in 2016 to bring together knowledge, resources and expertise, with the ambition to develop the city region as an international centre of excellence for ageing.
