Ageing and population shrinking: implications for sustainability in the urban century
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Ageing and shrinking urban populations present a two-sided coin for sustainability, posing challenges like increasing healthcare demand and vulnerability to disasters, while offering opportunities for reduced consumption and environmental pressures. Emerging interventions, such as boosting health care and mobility innovation, enhancing green spaces, and fostering social inclusion through urban knowledge co-production, are crucial to harnessing this demographic shift's potential for achieving long-term urban sustainability.
