Routledge Creative Ageing Cities - Place Design in Asian Cities

As ageing populations and rapid urbanisation become major global demographic shifts, urban planning must evolve. Creative Ageing Cities explores how architectural designs and urban policies can address the needs of an increasing elderly population living in cities. This book focuses on the specific challenges found in old urban neighbourhoods, where the environment often needs improvement to support residents. By examining the evolving lifestyles and wellbeing of diverse elderly demographics, this work provides insights into necessary interventions for modern urban spaces. It looks at how to adapt existing neighbourhoods so that older people can continue living in their communities effectively. This is an essential resource for those studying how to improve deteriorating environments and create inclusive spaces that accommodate the changing requirements of an ageing society in Asian cities.
