130-E. International Perspectives: Fostering Lifelong Engagement in Age-Inclusive Urban Areas

A growing percentage of older adults live in urban areas, and this trend is expected to continue. This session will illustrate how to reimagine urban spaces as collaborative, age-inclusive environments that view ageing as a societal asset. Presenters will share their expertise in age-friendly urban design and urban longevity. They'll introduce you to the City of Longevity framework, developed by the United Kingdom's National Innovation Centre Ageing to promote healthier, more inclusive urban environments. Representatives from Lasell Village in Newton, MA, will describe their community's focus on integrating lifelong education, multigenerational design, and community engagement. Don't miss this opportunity to explore program designs, urban planning strategies, and data-driven approaches to creating healthier, more inclusive cities for all ages.
