项目摘要

The World Health Organization (WHO) model of 'age-friendly cities' emphasizes the theme of supportive urban environments for older citizens. These defined as encouraging 'active ageing' by 'optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age' (WHO, Global Age-friendly Cities, 2007). The goal of establishing age-friendly cities should be seen in the context of pressures arising from population ageing and urbanisation. By 2030, two-thirds of the world's population will reside in cities, with - for urban areas in high-income countries - at least one-quarter of their populations aged 60 and over. This development raises important issues for older people: To what extent will cities develop as age-friendly communities? Will so-called global cities integrate or segregate their ageing populations? What kind of variations might occur across different types of urban areas? How are different groups of older people affected by urban change? The 'age-friendly' city perspective has been influential in raising awareness about the impact of population ageing. Against this, the value of this approach has yet to be assessed in the context of modern cities influenced by pressures associated with global social and economic change. The IPNS has four main objectives: first, to build a collaborative research-based network focused on understanding population ageing in the context of urban environments; second to develop a research proposal for a cross-national study examining different approaches to building age-friendly cities; third to provide a systematic review of data sets and other resources of relevance to developing a research proposal on age-friendly cities; fourth, to develop training for early career resarchers working on ageing and urban issues.The network represents the first attempt to facilitate comparative research on the issue of age-friendly cities. It builds upon two meetings held at the Universities of Keele and Manchester in 2011 that sought to establish the basis for cross-national work around the 'age-friendly' theme. The IPNS represents brings together world class research groups in Europe, Hong Kong and North America, professionals concerned with urban design and architecture, and leading NGOs working in the field of ageing. A range of activities have been identified over the two-year funding period:(1) Preparation of research proposals for a cross-national study of approaches to developing age-friendly urban environments. (2) Two workshops to specify theoretical and methodological issues raised by demographic change and urbanisation. (3) A Summer School exploring links between data resources of potential relevance to the ageing and urbanisation theme and which might underpin research proposals. (4) Master classes for network members from key researchers in the field of urbanisation and ageing. (5) A workshop with a user-based theme developing older people's participation in research on building age-friendly communities. (6) Themed workshops (face-to-face and via video-link) to identify research and policy gaps drawing on inter-disciplinary perspectivesThe IPNS will be sustained in a variety of ways at the end of the funding period. A collaborative research proposal as well as one to maintain the network will be major outputs from the project and work with potential funding bodies will continue after 2014. Dissemination activities will continue through professional networks, symposia at major international conferences, and involvement in expert meetings. The project will continue to be advertised through the maintenance of a website maintained by the host UK HEI. The project will continue to make a contribution to policy development around the theme of age-friendly cities, notably with the main NGOs working in the field.

世界卫生组织（世卫组织）的“对老年人友好的城市”模式强调为老年公民创造有利的城市环境这一主题。这些措施被定义为鼓励“积极老龄化”，“优化健康、参与和保障的机会，以便随着人们老龄化而提高生活质量”（世卫组织，《全球老年人友好城市》，2007年）。应在人口老龄化和城市化带来的压力的背景下看待建立老年友好型城市的目标。到2030年，世界三分之二的人口将居住在城市，在高收入国家的城市地区，至少四分之一的人口年龄在60岁及以上。这一事态发展为老年人提出了重要问题：城市将在多大程度上发展为对老年人友好的社区？所谓的全球城市会整合还是隔离其老龄化人口？不同类型的城市地区可能会出现什么样的变化？城市变化如何影响不同的老年人群体？“对老年人友好”的城市观点在提高人们对人口老龄化影响的认识方面发挥了重要作用。在这种情况下，这种方法的价值还有待于在现代城市受到全球社会和经济变化压力影响的背景下进行评估。该网络有四个主要目标：第一，建立一个以协作研究为基础的网络，重点是了解城市环境中的人口老龄化;第二，为一项跨国研究制定研究提案，审查建设对老年人友好的城市的不同方法;第三，对与制定对老年人友好的城市研究提案有关的数据集和其他资源进行系统审查;第四，为从事老龄化和城市问题工作的早期职业研究人员开展培训，该网络是促进对老年人友好城市问题进行比较研究的第一次尝试。它建立在2011年在基尔大学和曼彻斯特大学举行的两次会议的基础上，这两次会议旨在为围绕“年龄友好”主题的跨国工作奠定基础。IPNS汇集了欧洲，香港和北美的世界级研究团体，关注城市设计和建筑的专业人士，以及在老龄领域工作的领先非政府组织。在两年的供资期内确定了一系列活动：（1）编写研究提案，以便进行一项关于发展对老年人友好的城市环境的方法的跨国研究。(2)举办两次讲习班，具体说明人口变化和城市化引起的理论和方法问题。(3)暑期学校探索与老龄化和城市化主题潜在相关的数据资源之间的联系，并可能支持研究提案。(4)为城市化和老龄化领域的主要研究人员提供的网络成员硕士课程。(5)以用户为主题的讲习班，促进老年人参与关于建立对老年人友好的社区的研究。(6)专题研讨会（面对面和通过视频链接），以确定研究和政策差距借鉴跨学科的观点IPNS将在资助期结束时以各种方式维持。该项目的主要产出将是一项合作研究提案以及一项维护网络的提案，2014年后将继续与潜在供资机构开展合作。将继续通过专业网络、在主要国际会议上举办专题讨论会和参加专家会议开展传播活动。该项目将继续通过主办方英国高等教育机构维护的网站进行宣传。该项目将继续为围绕对老年人友好的城市这一主题制定政策作出贡献，特别是与在这一领域开展工作的主要非政府组织合作。
