Abstract:
"A global societal issue, ageing populations require policymakers, planners, the public, the third and private sector to rethink how the built environment and services are delivered to meet the needs of a changing demographic. This is the first book to systematically review the evolution, development and progress of age-friendly thinking in the UK. The book has a national and global interest for all communities engaged in age-friendly activity, offering exemplars of best practice, achievements in transforming local communities, the meaning of ageing as well as the age-friendly lens as an approach that champions the world through the eyes of older people"--
