The proportion of older adults in urban areas is rapidly growing, leading to increases in health-care costs that are associated with chronic diseases. This can be offset by creating urban environments that support an active lifestyle across mid-to-late adulthood. How urban community designs shape the physical activity of this understudied age group is unclear. Using a suite of national and international epidemiological studies, This project aims to identify the optimal mix and spatial distribution of destinations (facilities and places to visit) for active ageing, while taking into account factors that define one’s ability and willingness to visit these destinations. This will inform public policy and activity-friendly community design.

城市地区老年人的比例正在迅速增长，导致与慢性病相关的医疗费用增加。这可以通过创造城市环境来抵消，这些环境支持中后期积极的生活方式。城市社区设计如何影响这一未被研究的年龄段的体育活动尚不清楚。利用一系列国家和国际流行病学研究，该项目旨在确定积极老龄化目的地(设施和访问地点)的最佳组合和空间分布，同时考虑到决定一个人访问这些目的地的能力和意愿的因素。这将为公共政策和活动友好型社区设计提供参考。
