Annotation	Promoting social connectedness within urban environments raises a number of challenging issues. Despite being important sites for building social networks, cities can also trigger marginalisation and social exclusion. As cities are becoming increasingly complex, ensuring the inclusion and participation of older residents in age-friendly developments will be key in achieving age-friendliness. This article discusses ways of achieving this goal, by exploring some of the opportunities and constraints associated with urban ageing; reviewing how social inclusion has been considered in the age-friendly literature; and presenting different mechanisms through which public engagement can be achieved.
