Notes on Age Friendly and Dementia Friendly Cities

How can planning and design strategies help create inclusive neighbourhoods to foster opportunities for active ageing?
Across the globe, cities are embracing the Age-Friendly and Dementia-Friendly concepts. Although somewhat different in scope, age-friendly and dementia-friendly cities have a common and overarching objective – to help older adults to remain independent and in the community for as long as reasonably possible by creating a supportive enabling physical and social environment. Additionally, both require action in many sectors and by many actors including governments, service providers, businesses, grassroots and community organisations, residents, and older people themselves.

We highlight the various creative approaches and initiatives that are being taken in Singapore and other cities and communities towards the creation of age friendly and dementia friendly physical and social environments.
