• Sommario/riassunto: This book, edited by a diverse group of scholars, explores sustainable ageing in place amidst global crises such as climate change, infectious disease outbreaks, and systemic violence. It aims to enhance understanding of sustainable neighborhoods and how these crises impact the attributes and resources necessary for healthy ageing in place. The book presents interdisciplinary perspectives from public health, architecture, human resources, and other fields, offering insights into how these global challenges affect social cohesion, safety, and health among older adults. It also suggests interventions to improve residents' ability to age well in their communities.
