Samenvatting

By 2050, 70% of the population will live in cities. The majority of
the persons living in cities will be 60 plus years old. Ageing cities
demands for cities environments to adapt to an ageing population.
Modern cities though, don’t anticipate fast enough and in an adequate
manner to face the challenges due to population-related transitions.
Modifying and adapting the built environment with a focus on the
aged population could help to support older people facing functional
and cognitive decline.
