Population aging often provokes fears of impending social security
deficits, uncontrollable medical expenditures, and transformations
in living arrangements, but public policy could also stimulate
social innovations. These issues are typically studied at the
national level; yet they must be resolved where most people
live--in diverse neighborhoods in cities.
New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo are the four largest cities
among the wealthiest, most developed nations of the world. The
essays commissioned for this volume compare what it is like to grow
older in these cities with respect to health care, quality of life,
housing, and long-term care. The contributors look beyond aggregate
national data to highlight the importance of how local authorities
implement policies.
