人口老化和萎缩是人口现象，在目前广泛和迅速城市化的背景下，对可持续性具有深远影响。该视角通过以下方式使两者的相互作用合理化：（a）确定老龄化和城市人口萎缩对实现可持续发展目标（SDG）带来的挑战和机遇，以及（B）讨论一些新兴干预措施，以利用机遇并减少实现可持续发展的挑战。我们认为，将需要一套不同的特定背景的技术，社会经济，体制和治理干预措施，以有效地利用机会，并尽量减少老龄化和城市人口萎缩带来的长期可持续性的风险。
Population ageing and shrinking are demographic phenomena with far-reaching implications for sustainability in the current context of extensive and rapid urbanization. This Perspective rationalizes their interface by (a) identifying the challenges and opportunities that ageing and shrinking urban populations will have for implementing the sustainable development goals (SDGs), and (b) discussing some emerging interventions to capitalise on the opportunities and reduce the challenges to achieving sustainability. We argue that a diverse set of context-specific technological, socioeconomic, institutional and governance interventions would be needed to leverage effectively the opportunities and minimize the risks posed by ageing and shrinking urban populations for long-term sustainability.
