  • Understanding age-friendly communities

    Open AccessJeroen Dikken, Michele Bertani et al.ARTICLEUrban Studies2026

    Over the past two decades, the World Health Organization has led the movement to transform cities into age-friendly environments, aiming to improve health, participation, and security for older adults.

  • Getting Older People’s Voices Heard

    Open AccessMichele Bertani, Joost Van Hoof et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2025Referências: 25

    The convergence of population ageing with urbanisation is one of the key challenges to European societies. Italy is at the forefront of this trend, as 24.1% of its population is aged 65 or above, and nearly 72% of its total population lives in urban areas. Given Italy’s demographic scenario, it is important to design age-friendly policies on the national and local levels. The paper contributes to the research of this topic through a technique for…
