Developing Age-Friendly Communities in the UK

The ageing population is a global societal issue. Policymakers, planners, and the public, third and private sectors must rethink the delivery of built environment and services to meet the needs of a changing demographic. This is the first book to systematically review the evolution, development and progress of age-friendly thinking in the UK.
