Session abstract:
Geographies of age-friendly cities and communities in a transitioning world
A growing concern for societies globally is population ageing, effecting care needs (increased costs, lack of staff) and older people’s ability to take place in society (ageism, social inclusion, respect, civic participation). Age-friendly cities and communities (AFCC) is a WHO policy aiming to overcome this. The parameters for measuring are both spatial and social, e.g., outdoor spaces, housing, social inclusion, and health. Even though AFCC policy is not new, how age-friendliness could be understood, planned, and designed has not been on the top agenda of geographical research. To this session, we are therefore inviting researchers to explore this topic geographically. How can we explore the dynamics of this transition and contribute with knowledge towards a more resilient, inclusive, accessible, and just society where older people could take place as everybody else? How inclusive, just, and accessible are our cities and communities in social and spatial terms?
We welcome proposals taking on board the topic, theoretically and empirically, of ageing population and AFCC broadly (e.g., healthy ageing, ageing-in-place, loneliness, ageism, social exclusion, spatial equity, accessibility, living environments, care, urban and rural re-generation). In addressing the topic in this broad vein, this session seeks to chart the geographies of age-friendly cities and communities in a transitioning world.
Please send your paper title and abstract (up to 200 words) via https://lnkd.in/dG9bjGZZ by April 15th, noting SESSION 24 Geographies of age-friendly cities and communities in a transitioning world
