This book engages with the concept of age-friendly environments,
adopting multi-perspectivity to demonstrate how age-friendly
environments can contribute to shifting how we think, feel and act
toward issues of age and ageing and operate as a vehicle to improve
understandings of ageism. Drawing from traditionally distinct
fields, the text demonstrates theoretical and applied dimensions of
the age-friendly global agenda, with several chapters discussing
topics that have to date been underrepresented in age-friendly
scholarship, including education, health and justice systems. The
case studies encourage critical engagement with the issue of ageism
in age-friendly scholarship. It presents a clear understanding of
the inequalities, challenges and opportunities of ageing and of the
ways international, regional, national and sub-national commitments
in health, development and human rights, and are further impacted
by, ageing through designing, implementing, monitoring and
evaluating policies and programmes. The essays utilise a critical
and interdisciplinary dialogue to enhance discussion of the
age-friendly environment agenda through the inclusion of
age-friendly perspectives in addition to its processes and
destinations in an ageing society. The book serves as a catalyst to
stimulate research, policy and public interest in the physical,
social and regulatory environments in which we age and the
consequent impact upon health and well-being. It will be of
interest to professors, graduate students and undergraduate
students in policy, sociology, health, planning and gerontology. It
is also recommended reading for policy makers, politicians, think
tanks and lobbyists, who are concerned with age
all-age-inclusiveness.
