Cities are great places for young people, but they’re also wonderful places to spend your entire life. In fact, more and more people are staying in cities for good, and enjoying their retirement in a vibrant atmosphere. As a result, cities are taking senior-friendliness seriously. They need to provide residents with bright prospects that stretch well into the golden years.Worldwide, the number of people aged over 60 will double from 600 million to 1.2 billion by 2025. And with over half of the world’s population already living in cities, it is imperative that urban centers take excellent care of their elders if they wish to remain attractive places to live. While healthcare and housing are important, it is essential to ensure that our elders remain active participants in their communities.
