Industry Reviews

"This important new collection should be read by planners, place makers, gerontologists and urban sociologists, everyone, in short, who is concerned with urban areas and how they might respond to demographic change. (It is) a fresh politicised approach to the AFC discussion... this book offers inspiration to those looking to understand and implement change in the complexity of the city." International Journal of Housing Policy
"An invaluable resource for anybody interested in the global age-friendly movement and a clear and insightful agenda for future action." Alana Officer, responsible for the World Health Organization's Global Network for Age-friendly Cities and Communities
"Useful for second and third year undergraduates and especially in modules with international context and a focus on older citizens. A welcome addition to our curriculum." Paul Simpson, Edgehill University
