Our future is old and urban. In 2050, for the first time in human history, there will be on earth more people aged over 60 than children between 0 and 14.

A multidisciplinary attitude is necessary to implement sustainable urban policies. For almost two decades urban strategies have been addressing the well-being of citizens, along with the development of necessary infrastructures. Today, the older city dweller has become in focus.

A Swiss study is described directed at making this concrete.
