对城镇中心及其零售核心“商业街”未来的担忧并不新鲜。对这一问题的反应往往是片面的，侧重于它们作为消费、就业、休闲和遗产地的作用。我们考虑到老年人在帮助恢复和振兴城镇中心方面的潜在多重作用，因为健康的支持性生活、社区和社会参与以及“就地养老”的中心地位。从环境老年学的角度来看，我们提出这样一个问题，即在新冠肺炎后的世界中，在振兴城镇中心的方法中，是否应进一步考虑世卫组织的老年友好城市/社区框架。
Concern for the future of town centres and their retail cores, the ‘high street’, is not new. Responses to this have often been somewhat one dimensional, focusing on their role as places of consumption, employment, leisure and heritage. We consider the potential multiple roles of older people in helping revive and rejuvenate town centres given the centrality of place for healthy supportive living, community and social participation and ‘ageing in place’. Taking an environmental gerontology perspective, we ask whether the WHO age friendly cities/communities’ framework should be considered further in approaches to reviving town centres in a post-Covid-19 world.
