Both have been identified as dominant demographic trends of the 21st century. Cities are where the majority of people of all ages now live and where they will spend their old age. Nevertheless, cities are typically imagined and structured with a younger, working age population in mind whilst older people are rarely incorporated into the mainstream of thinking and planning around urban environments. Cities can contribute to vulnerability arising from high levels of population turnover, environmental problems, gentrification, and reduced availability of affordable housing. However, they can also provide innovative forms of support and services essential to promoting the quality of life of older people. Policies in Europe have emphasized the role of the local environment in promoting 'ageing in place', a term used to describe the goal of helping people to remain in their own homes and communities for as long as they wish. However, whilst this has been the dominant approach, the places in which older people are ageing have often proved to be challenging environments. The book explores the forces behind these developments and how older people have responded. Drawing upon approaches from social gerontology, urban studies, geography, and sociology, this book will be essential reading for researchers, policy-makers and practitioners searching for innovative ways to improve the lives of older people living in urban environments"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAging and Society Series 606 $aUrban older people 606 $aUrban older people$xServices for 606 $aUrbanization$xSocial aspects 606 $aPopulation aging$xSocial aspects 615 0$aUrban older people. 615 0$aUrban older people$xServices for. 615 0$aUrbanization$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPopulation aging$xSocial aspects. 676 $a307.76084/6 700 $aBuffel$b Tine$01371401 701 $aPhillipson$b Chris$0912123 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734337703321 996 $aAgeing in Place in Urban Environments$93601356 997 $aUNINA
