This book brings together recent scholarly work concerned with efforts around the world to transform cities so that they are more age-friendly. Common to all of the initiatives is recognition of the importance of the community environment for the well-being of the rapidly growing numbers of older people. The collection includes chapters that examine the circumstances in which communities currently undertake significant age-friendly initiatives, public-private collaboration in age-friendly initiatives, collaboration across institutional sectors in age-friendly initiatives, policies that facilitate age-friendly developments, and the bases upon which age-friendly initiatives should be evaluated. It will be of interest to scholars in various fields including urban planning, gerontology, transportation planning, environmental design, and adult education.
Kelly G. Fitzgerald is a senior scientist and adjunct graduate faculty member at Western Kentucky University’s Center for Gerontology.
Francis G. Caro is a professor emeritus of Gerontology at the University of Massachusetts Boston and the editor of the Journal of Aging & Social Policy.
