Περιγραφή:Recent history of cities shows that some social groups, principally the disabled, children and the elderly, have been marginalized. In large part, these groups still have limited access to city infra -structures and services and they often regard cities as being unfriendly places. With regard to the aged, the numbers of elderly are increasing each year, with seniors expected to represent nearly one-quarter of the planet’s population by the year 2050. This study identified five variables of the physical environment of cities that determine their level of friendliness to the elderly and 27 indicators to quantify these variables. An evaluation of these indicators was performed at 54 refer -ence points of the city of Malmö, Sweden in order to arrive at a classification of the city’s degree of elderly friendliness.
