Many western nations have experienced a rise in the number of
marginalised and deprived inner-city neighbourhoods. Despite a
plethora of research focused on these areas, there remain few
studies that have sought to capture the 'optimality' of ageing in
place in such places. In particular, little is known about why some
older people desire to age in place despite multiple risks in their
neighbourhood and why others reject ageing in place. Given the
growth in both the ageing of the population and policy interest in
the cohesion and sustainability of neighbourhoods there is an
urgent need to better understand the experience of ageing in
marginalised locations. This book aims to address the shortfall in
knowledge regarding older people's attachment to deprived
neighbourhoods and in so doing progress what critics have referred
to as the languishing state of environmental gerontology. The
author examines new cross-national research with older people in
deprived urban neighbourhoods and suggests a rethinking and
refocusing of the older person's relationship with place. Impact on
policy and future research are also discussed. This book will be
relevant to academics, students, architects, city planners and
policy makers with an interest in environmental gerontology, social
exclusion, urban sustainability and design of the built
environment.
