Planning for Greying Cities : Age-Friendly City Planning and Design Research and Practice PDF
by Tzu-Yuan Stessa Chao
Part of the Routledge Research in Planning and Urban Design series
Description
Planning for Greying Cities: Age-Friendly City Planning and Design Research and Practice highlights how modern town planning and design act as a positive force for population ageing, taking on these challenges from a user-oriented perspective.
Although often related to 'healthy city' concepts, the contexts of age-friendly cities and communities (AFCC) were not emphasized until the early 2000s.
Planning for Greying Cities is the first book to bring together fundamental and cutting-edge research exploring dimensions of age-friendly cities in different spatial scales.
Chapters examine the ageing circumstances and challenges in cities, communities, and rural areas in terms of land use planning, urban design, transport planning, housing, disaster resilience, and governance and empowerment, with international case studies and empirical research results of age-friendly environment studies.
It is essential reading for academics and practicians in urban planning, gerontology, transport planning, and environmental design.
