Positive Ageing Strategy - About age-friendly cities

The World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Age-friendly Cities Framework is an internationally recognised guide for governments and communities.

Since 2002 it has been promoting healthy and active ageing in urban environments by informing public discussion and action.

The framework provides a holistic multi-dimensional approach across a range of domains that are grouped into three environments. We used this framework as a guide during the engagement process.
