Project title:
The Role of Age-friendly Environments in Promoting Ageing-in-place in Urban ChinaProject outline:
China is experiencing an ageing population in line with global demographic trends. By 2017, almost one in four people worldwide who are 60 years and over were living in China. “Ageing-in-place” has become a common policy response to population ageing, which makes both economic and social sense. However, enabling older people to age-in-place is a very complex task, which needs the necessary resources for older people to remain in their own homes and communities, and requires comprehensive planning, provision of a wide range of support services in the community and the removal of barriers that segregate older people and limit their activities, in other words, the provision of an age-friendly living environment.Primary supervisor:
