Measuring the age-friendliness of cities: a guide to using core indicators

The tool is based on the perspectives and inputs of older people, care givers and service providers collected in 33 cities across all six WHO regions: Africa, Americas, Eastern Mediterranean, Europe, South-East Asia and Western Pacific. The publication focuses on eight key domains of urban life that encompass determinants of health and well-being: outdoor spaces and buildings; transportation; housing; respect and social inclusion; civic participation and employment; social participation; community and health services; and communication and information. It is a resource good for providing a baseline for the promotion of age-friendly urban policies in cities worldwide. It is useful for public health practitioners and age-friendly communities of interest.
