Understanding where ageing occurs, how it is experienced by
different people in different places, and in what ways it is
transforming our communities, economies and societies at all levels
has become crucial for the development of informed research, policy
and programmes. This book focuses on the interdisciplinary field of
study - geographical gerontology - that addresses these issues.
With contributions from more than 30 leading geographers and
gerontologists, the book examines the scope and depth of
geographical perspectives, concepts and approaches applied to the
study of ageing, old age and older populations. The book features
25 chapters organized into five parts that cover the field's
theoretical traditions and intellectual evolution; the
contributions of key disciplinary perspectives from population
geography, social and cultural geography, health geography, urban
planning and environmental studies; the scales of inquiry within
geographical gerontology from the global to the embodied; the
thematic breadth of contemporary issues of interest that define the
field (places, spaces and landscapes of ageing); and a discussion
about challenges, opportunities and agendas for future developments
in geography and gerontology. This book provides the first
comprehensive foundation of knowledge about the state of the art of
geographical gerontology that will be of interest to scholars of
ageing around the world.
