CADENZA Symposium 2010
Age-Friendly World Cities & Environment
Elder-friendly communities actively involve, value and support older people, both active and frail, with infrastructure and services that effectively accommodate their changing needs.
The World Health Organization (WHO) initiated the Age-Friendly Cities movement in 2005 in response to ageing populations living in cities all over the world.
CADENZA Symposium 2010: "Age-Friendly World Cities and Environment" highlighted the WHO guidelines with respect to New York, discuss how health outcomes may be influenced by health and social care systems, neighbourhoods, and how urban design and use of information technology may contribute to making the environment more elder-friendly.
