The World Health Organisation is running a program to create more age-friendly cities. They are offering training and support for a five year program for those cities and communities willing to join up, as well as other resources such as a global guide to Age-Friendly Cities.
The program aims to encourage the development of physical and social environments which are
conducive to citizens remaining healthy and independent and continuing
to make a positive contribution to their community long into their old
age.
It is
estimated that 60% of the world's population will live in cities by 2030, and the proportion of
people aged over 60 will double to 22% by 2050.
