IDENTITY OF INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE LATE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES. IN THE HISTORICAL AREA OF THE CITY OF KHARKIV

The article highlights the topic of formation, development, and degradation of Kharkiv's textile manufactories, which are compactly located along Rizdviana Street in the downtown area. In addition to the processes related to the activity in the territory of the manufactories' neighborhood, the article raises the theme of the representation of identity in the monuments of Kharkiv industrial architecture. In the early twentieth century, Kharkiv's manufactory district was the embodiment of a big city, the world of science and technical progress, where each firm expressed its identity in the architecture of the building. Contemporaries called the neighborhood “Kharkiv City”. Later on, the district gradually began to lose this status. Over the next 50 years, weaving production declined, giving way to book printing. During the Second World War, the neighbourhood was severely damaged and some of the buildings were rebuilt in Soviet Art Deco style. From the 1970s onwards, a gradual deterioration began, which intensified from the 1990s onwards. Since the 2000s, attempts to renovate manufactory buildings have started: exhibitions are held in separate buildings, and since 2016 the creation of hubs, which combine offices with different functions, has begun. The article proposes 3 renovation strategies that range from "conservative" to "radical". Conservative strategy implies preservation of the neighborhood in existing forms, museification of buildings to create museums. The main emphasis is on the development of tourism. The second concept implies regeneration of the lost parts of the neighborhood development, symbols, functions. The concept implies restoration of the lost image of Kharkiv City and filling it with new content (functions). The radical concept is connected with the creation of new forms, functions, which were not previously present in the territory of the district and which will contrast with the historical building. This will provide an opportunity to create new functions and images that will become a center of activity. The combination of the creation of new functions and images with the revival of lost identities will make it possible to turn the district into a centre of activity, preserving its historical heritage and reviving the lost image. Key words: degrading industrial buildings and territories, identity, renovation, architecture of industrial objects.

Commuter choice of UAM-friendly neighborhoods

Urban Air Mobility (UAM) which provides swift intra- and intercity transportation services has the potential to induce shifts in individuals’ commuting and residential decisions. It is anticipated that, in residential areas, UAM services would enhance accessibility for residents. An UAM-friendly neighborhood represents a novel, integrated neighborhood concept that provides the infrastructure and travel environment required to facilitate UAM services, thereby promoting sustainable neighborhood development and improving accessibility. To gain a deeper understanding of commuters’ choice behavior in UAM-friendly neighborhoods, we designed a stated choice experiment. Using data collected in Beijing city, we estimated a mixed logit model with interaction effects to identify the choice preferences of different people while capturing the unobserved preference heterogeneity. We found that individuals generally prefer to reside in such neighborhoods where the access distance to UAM vertiports is within one kilometer, the parking fee is either low (5 yuan/day) or free, the commuting time by UAT is 15 min, and drone window-docking delivery services are available. Households with high incomes (>400,000 yuan/year) and those owning a car are likely to adopt these novel neighborhoods. There is a varying degree of heterogeneity observed regarding residential location and distance to UAM vertiports among individuals in different age groups. Results of the elasticity analysis indicate that UAT commuting cost has the greatest impact on the likelihood of residing in UAM-friendly neighborhoods.

From hard coal mining to a learning space for digitally supported participatory management of biodiversity

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the conversion of the former coal mining site in Kamp-Lintfort into a public park and learning space for biodiversity. In 2020, an urban green space was established, featuring various aquatic and terrestrial habitats and a high level of biological diversity in the city centre with broad community support. Design/methodology/approach This study presents secondary data of a literature review on participatory management of biodiversity in urban green spaces, with a focus on the sustainability context, participation approaches, theoretical frameworks and the role of education. The example of Zechenpark Kamp-Lintfort (Germany) shows how urban green space development can meet the challenging demands of inner city development while fostering knowledge generation via citizen science and participatory biodiversity management. The study collected primary data on plant biodiversity using a citizen science approach to raise awareness and create opportunities for human–nature interaction. Findings Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 is the most important development goal in the context of participatory biodiversity management of urban green spaces. Most of the studies have a place-based focus and integration of local knowledge is the main reason for a participatory approach. The findings show how a green learning space can offer opportunities for digital learning as well as participatory biodiversity management in urban areas. The project lead to an increase in local citizens’ awareness of biodiversity. Based on a literature review, this report identifies challenges and opportunities for establishing a green learning space for biodiversity education. The example illustrates that an urban green space can provide numerous possibilities for citizens and students to get involved and that it can foster the sustainable development of a new urban neighbourhood. Research limitations/implications A place-based approach limits generalisability. To overcome this limitation, a literature review was conducted, and the location was compared to two parks with similar site conversion history. Practical implications The example of developing an urban green space can inspire universities to take an active role in biodiversity management in urban green spaces, integrating biodiversity into university activities and creating a positive impact in the urban environment. Social implications Analysis of studies in the field shows that education deserves a more prominent role in theoretical frameworks. Originality/value The study represents an example of transition and citizen-led participatory management of biodiversity from a medium-sized city, transformation processes covering these aspects are underrepresented in literature.

Conflict-mediation, consensus-building, and co-production: Three models of co-governance in China’s neighborhood regeneration

Existing literature on co-governance has extensively discussed how the state interacts with various actors beyond the government to promote urban development. In China, the discourse and practice of co-governance illustrate different trajectories from the West. As the urban development strategies in China shifted from property-led expansion to inner-city neighborhood regeneration, the importance of multiscalar participation in governing community affairs has been increasingly emphasized, moving beyond the government-market dichotomy and emphasizing negotiation and collaboration among the government, market participants, stakeholders, and the public. Based on practical experience and participatory action research in Guangdong province, we identify three models of co-governance in recent neighborhood regeneration practices: (1) the state-led co-creation model for conflict-mediation purposes, which primarily relies on local government and party organization to mediate inherited conflicts and rebuild local trust for promoting the regeneration agenda; (2) the professional-led place-making model for consensus-building purposes, which focuses on reshaping daily habits and beautifying public spaces to achieve consensus-based aspirations for neighborhood development; and (3) the co-production model, driven by society-community partnership, which reflects the emergence of new commons, encompassing dynamic reconfigurations on both socio-economic and institutional dimensions. Through case studies in Guangzhou and Foshan, specifically in the Enninglu, Keyuan, and Dongfeng neighborhoods, we illustrate how local governments enhance the inclusiveness and effectiveness of neighborhood governance by engaging various third-party actors, such as local enterprises, community planners, and residents’ self-help groups. Local governments are skillfully avoiding direct confrontation with residents by incorporating community planners and empowering social actors to promote co-production among multiscalar participants. By examining the emergence, functioning, and dilemmas of different co-governance models in China’s latest neighborhood regeneration practices, this study enriches the existing framework of the state-market-society landscape, demonstrating the plurality of the state’s governance intentions and highlighting the political space in which grassroots governance is constituted.

Minga as a placemaking tool in peripheral neighbourhoods. Co-design experience in Calderon, Quito*

ABSTRACT This article explores the role of local vernacular socio-spatial practices in co-design and placemaking in Calderon, a peripheral urban parish in Quito, Ecuador. Using a case-study method and transformative paradigm theory, the research employs a mixed-methods approach for data collection and analysis. The focus is on ‘Minga’, a collaborative community effort manifested in two forms: ‘community mingas’ organised autonomously by communities, and ‘megamingas’ coordinated by public institutions. Community mingas enhance residents’ sense of belonging and pride, empowering them in shaping public spaces through a bottom-up approach. In contrast, megamingas exhibit top-down organisation with limited community engagement, raising concerns about social impacts. The study underscores mingas’ potential for social cohesion, cultural expression, and sustainable development in urban design. It emphasises the nuanced understanding needed for fostering active participation and addresses challenges such as sustaining community ownership. Despite yielding immediate benefits in public space enhancement, sustaining long-term engagement is crucial. The study concludes that mingas offer a valuable avenue for residents to actively contribute to public space improvement, fostering shared responsibility and long-term sustainable development in low-income neighbourhoods.

THE HOUSING UNITS OF THE POSITIVE CLIMATE NEIGHBORHOOD PEDRA BRANCA SC/BR

In response to the global climate crisis, urgent measures are required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement. As energy consumption accounts for 36% of total emissions, and buildings contribute significantly to both direct and indirect emissions, it is crucial to enhance the energy efficiency and self-sufficiency of buildings. This article conducts a case study to evaluate the formal structure, spatial layout, and sustainable strategies employed in residential units within the Pedra Branca neighborhood (Santa Catarina, Brazil), using the methodology developed by Brandão and Schneider. The findings indicate that the housing units predominantly consist of three bedrooms, along with two to four bathrooms. The analysis revealed partial integration between the kitchen and service areas, with full integration being less common. Corridor layouts were found to make the greatest contribution to sustainability and internal space quality. Although some configurations did not directly support cross-ventilation, there was a clear focus on environmental comfort and the use of passive design strategies. This study highlights the potential of such configurations to improve energy performance and contribute to the development of climate-positive neighborhoods.

How schools affect neighbourhoods: a conceptual framework for the multiple roles of public schools

ABSTRACT Schools are often seen primarily as places of education and learning. However, in addition to providing pupils with knowledge and skills needed in life, schools have a central role in forming and structuring life in their neighbourhoods. In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for understanding the role and potential of schools in neighbourhood and social development. We illustrate the conceptual framework with empirical data from a survey among residents in five Finnish cities, where the link between schools and neighbourhoods is traditionally strong as school admission is based on catchment areas. We argue for a broader perspective on schools by paying attention to the three significant roles of schools: their educational role, their role in structuring residential decisions and social composition of neighbourhoods, and thirdly, their role as a hub for services and social life.

Historical Redlining, Contemporary Gentrification, and Severe Maternal Morbidity in California, 2005-2018

Historically redlined neighborhoods may experience disinvestment, influencing their likelihood of gentrification, a process of neighborhood (re-)development that unequally distributes harms and benefits by race and class. Understanding the combined outcomes of redlining and gentrification informs how the mutually constitutive systems of structural racism and racial capitalism affect pregnancy outcomes. To examine if historical redlining and contemporary gentrification is associated with increased severe maternal morbidity (SMM) odds. This cross-sectional study used data from a statewide population-based sample of all live hospital births at 20 weeks' gestation or more between 2005 and 2018 in California. Analysis was conducted from March 2023 to January 2024. Redlining (as characterized by the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation mortgage security maps) and displacement (using present-day sociodemographic and housing market information). Mixed-effects logistic regression models were used to assess the association of census tract-level exposure to historical redlining and contemporary gentrification with increased SMM odds, adjusting for sociodemographic and pregnancy related factors. Outcome classification was based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention SMM index, which defines SMM as having any of the 21 procedures and diagnoses based on the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision codes. The study sample included 1 554 837 births (median [SD] maternal age, 29.0 [6.4] years; 3464 American Indian or Alaskan Native [0.2%], 224 774 Asian [14.5%], 132 240 Black [8.5%], 880 104 Hispanic [56.6%], 312 490 White [20.1%]), with 22 993 cases of SMM (1.4%). Residents in historically redlined neighborhoods that were undergoing gentrification or displacement were more likely to be Black, Hispanic, and American Indian or Alaskan Native. Independent of individual-level characteristics, SMM odds were greater for individuals living in redlined neighborhoods that experienced displacement (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.14-1.28) and in redlined neighborhoods undergoing gentrification (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.13-1.29) compared with those in continuously advantaged neighborhoods. Findings from this cross-sectional study demonstrate that the legacies of redlining, intertwined with current dynamics of displacement and gentrification, affect SMM. Place-based sociopolitical mechanisms that inequitably distribute resources may be important intervention points to address structural drivers of adverse pregnancy outcomes and their racial inequities.

Quality of life: quantitative analysis in New Urbanism and LEED-ND certified neighbourhoods

Given the substantial rise in the urban population, it is imperative to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) in residential communities. New Urbanism (NU) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) are globally recognised neighbourhood design initiatives that strive to improve QoL. Nevertheless, the degree to which these initiatives effectively enhance QoL remains questionable. This assessment seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of key design practices in these two initiatives by examining the satisfaction levels of residents. It focuses on five key attributes that contribute to enhancing the QoL in residential neighbourhoods: safety, comfort, connectivity, sense of place, and aesthetic appeal. Three neighbourhoods were selected for analysis in the USA. The residents’ questionnaire was utilised as the main tool for the quantitative analysis. The findings revealed a positive association between safety and comfort and overall QoL. NU neighbourhoods showed the highest satisfaction levels, while LEED-ND neighbourhoods had the lowest. Key determinants of QoL were identified as well. The main contribution of this study is to provide insights for enhancing the design parameters of NU and LEED-ND certification to improve QoL and bridge the gap between professionals’ perspectives and residents’ preferences.

Research on the Collaborative Regeneration of Cohousing Under Spatial Densification Mode

Urban renewal is a necessary process for the transformation from incremental space to stock space, and old communities, as an important part of the urban space system, play a non-negligible role in the reconstruction of community spatial order. From the perspective of community remodeling, From the perspective of community remodeling, this paper summarizes the latest research progress through the analysis tool CiteSpace, explores and researches the design of old residential areas in Hangzhou based on the urban air index oriented residential renewal design based on the planning concepts of "co-living community", "urban spatial morphology" and "community microclimate system". On the basis of combining 3D wind field simulation and fluid mechanics software calculation, this paper explores the collaborative regeneration path of old residential areas under spatial densification mode, this paper studies how to combine scientific planning with resident sharing in a new mode, and on this basis, through the self-regulation function of the environment, let the residential area spontaneously form a complete shared living system, and carry out detailed exploration in the protection and reconstruction of the living environment of the old community, and how to promote the spiritual development of modern neighborhoods through transformation. In order to improve the quality of life of urban residents in Hangzhou, the renewal and regeneration design of old residential areas and the transformation and upgrading of future communities have brought new thinking.

Station Area Planning and Resilient Urban Transformation: Insights from Siliguri Through Stakeholders’ Perspectives

The present research seeks to outline a common ground between the notions of urban aesthetics and inclusive planning by taking Siliguri Town station and its adjacent market as the cases. This article attempts to redirect the study of urban geography of Siliguri city away from macro-level analysis of space, which sometimes generates crude generalized discussions about the spatial development of urban landscapes, on the side of a more vigorous contemplation and critical consideration on the scope of micro-level planning alternatives for the city. Toward this objective, the research methodology is grounded on the analysis of historical databases, intensive field observation, and qualitative interviews. Through ten in-depth semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders including local body representatives, railway officials, planners, investors, as well as civil society organizations in Siliguri City, this study seeks to emphasize the factors that stakeholders in the city consider to be essential for the micro-scale development of Siliguri Town station neighborhood and its long-term effects on a number of actors. Findings from the interviews indicate that Siliguri Town station and its neighboring markets, such as Mahabirsthan and Hawkers’ Corner, are continuously growing as the places of urban contestation and struggle. To critically address these contestations, the research argues for the resurgence of Siliguri Town station neighborhood as the key urban territorial form for collaboration among central, state, and local government authorities as well as private players. The principal outcomes of this research, therefore, are expected to provide some micro-level planning alternatives, which can pave the path for an inclusive and planned production of urban space around Siliguri Town railway station, representing the heart of Siliguri city.

The impact of social network embeddedness, TPB, and danwei system on residents' participation intention in old neighborhood regeneration

Residents' participation is crucial for sustainable old neighborhood regeneration. Residents' intentions to participate in the regeneration are low in China, resulting in unsustainable neighborhood development problems. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the drivers of residents' participation. Residents' behavioral mechanisms are deeply embedded in their social networks, especially in acquaintance social networks typical of old neighborhoods in China. By constructing a mediated moderation model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and danwei system and taking the old neighborhood regeneration in Xi'an as a case study, this paper investigates the paths and mechanisms of the social network embeddedness, TPB, and danwei system on residents' participation intention. The results show that social network embeddedness can improve residents' intention to participate in regeneration through both direct and indirect pathways, and its indirect effect is much larger than the direct effect. Attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control significantly and positively mediated the contribution of social network embeddedness on participation intention. However, the specific mediating effect of attitude is significantly smaller than the other two. The danwei system has a significant moderating effect in the first stage of the relationship between social network embeddedness and participation intention. These imply that the extrinsic social factor of social network embeddedness is internalized as a driving force for convergence and motivation of residents' participation intentions mainly through the normative pressure and exchange of experiences between acquaintances and that the danwei system reinforces this extrinsic-intrinsic facilitation process through the danwei's "physical presence." These findings provide revelatory countermeasures for exploring the factors that motivate residents to participate actively in neighborhood regeneration and encourage their involvement at the intervention level.

Дослідження процесу перевезення пасажирів з моделюванням роботи зупинок громадського транспорту

Public transport is characterized by its accessibility and sharing and is intended for a wide range of people, regardless of social status or income. The main function is to provide the ability to move people from one place to another within the city. Bus stops are a strategic place to ensure territorial accessibility from central to peripheral neighborhoods. They maintain order and organization in the operation of public transport. It is the study of the network of public transport routes and stops that is crucial for improving the quality of service, increasing the efficiency of transport systems and ensuring convenience for users. However, in each case, it is necessary to use an individual approach to organizational and planning decisions. The article describes the peculiarities of the functioning of public transport in the city of Dubno, Rivne region, in the context of research on infrastructure, route network, passenger flow, location and modeling of stops, taking into account the future development of new neighborhoods. It was found that the route network in Dubno includes 22 public transport routes with 64 stops. On average, 19544 passengers use public transport and get off at bus stops every day - 54% of all city residents. The rapid development of the city requires the arrangement of new public transport stops with changing routes, the operation of which in the overall transportation system was investigated by simulation modeling. The results obtained will make it possible to develop schedules and routes for public transport and to perform technical and economic calculations for the modern arrangement of stops. The research reported in this article was conducted at the National University of Water and Environmental Engineering with the support of the Department of Economics and Property of the Dubno City Council.

Urban Transformation in Muslim Neighborhoods: From Shanghai’s Women’s Mosque into a Retirement Home

Since the mid-19th century, the migration of Hui Muslims to Shanghai has fostered the development of stable residential neighborhoods around the Small Peach Garden Mosque, turning the area into a hub for religious gatherings and a bustling economic center, especially for the beef, mutton, and catering sectors. However, the dawn of the 21st century brought with it swift economic expansion and urban redevelopment, gradually replacing the neighborhoods surrounding the mosque with high-end residential zones. Soaring land prices slashed the profits of Muslim food businesses in the area to the point of unsustainability, disrupting the traditional pattern of life around the mosque. This study offers insights from interviews with older Muslim women who stayed at the Small Peach Garden Women’s Mosque after its demolition, slowly transforming it into a retirement home. Their stories underline that architectural conservation alone is not sufficient to preserve the character of historic and cultural sites. The study calls for a deeper understanding of urban transformations in historic urban landscapes for religious minorities.

Neighborhood Gentrification and Food Insecurity Among Urban Older Adults: Evidence From New York City.

Gentrification is a prevalent neighborhood development process in urban areas across the United States. Prior studies have identified the influence of gentrification on late-life health and quality of life, yet little is known about its relationship with food insecurity, an important public health issue for older adult populations. Using New York City as a case study, this study investigated associations between living in a gentrifying neighborhood and food insecurity, as well as the mediating roles of neighborhood environment factors-social cohesion, public transportation, and food environment. This study adopted 2 waves of annual data from the Poverty Tracker Study (2015-2016; N = 703) merged with American Community Survey and spatial data sets to measure gentrification and neighborhood factors. Adjusted logistic regressions were used to examine the associations between gentrification and food insecurity. Further mediation analyses were conducted to test the mechanisms of such associations. Older adults in gentrifying neighborhoods were more likely to have food insecurity than those in moderate- to high-income neighborhoods. Compared to low-income neighborhoods, older adults in gentrifying neighborhoods had a lower likelihood of reporting food insecurity. Two significant mediators were found when comparing gentrification with moderate- to high-income neighborhoods: social cohesion and healthy food outlets. This study highlights the importance of gentrification in determining late-life food insecurity and identifies possible mechanisms with policy and social service implications to reduce the risk of food insecurity in urban areas.

CLIMATE‐JUST HOUSING: A Socio‐spatial Perspective on Climate Policy and Housing

AbstractFocusing on the nexus of climate and housing policy, this article analyzes the socio‐spatial consequences of urban climate mitigation policies and the resultant need to broaden the concept of climate justice. By using the example of energy retrofitting in a low‐income district in Kiel, Germany, the article examines cities’ dependence on real estate companies to reach low‐carbon goals in a privatized housing market and the (potential) need to provide incentives for investment. As the case study shows, this can lead to a highly sensitive confluence of climate policy, private real estate investment and neighborhood development policy, which leads to a higher financial burden as well as the potential displacement and further political marginalization of current tenants. In light of these results, the article argues for the application of a climate justice frame in analyses of urban climate policies that integrates housing justice with spatial justice. Specifically, it calls for the right to climate‐just housing; that is, for the right to affordable housing to be connected with the right to energy‐efficient housing in one's own neighborhood. This implies the right to information and to urban space as political space, which in turn means the politicization of the targets, strategies and, not least, spaces of urban climate policy.

Towards a positive energy balance: A comparative analysis of the planning and design of four positive energy districts and neighbourhoods in Norway and Sweden

Positive energy districts and sustainable plus energy neighbourhoods are developed in the European context to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from the building sector. The planning and development of positive energy districts and sustainable plus energy neighbourhoods is complex and requires collaboration between stakeholders and new measures to achieve high energy efficiency, local renewable energy generation, energy storage and flexibility, and energy sufficiency. This paper examines the implementation of energy measures in the planning and design of four positive energy district and neighbourhood development projects in Norway and Sweden. The paper compares the two different institutional and energy system contexts and how these affect the development of positive energy districts, focusing on the perspectives of the municipality and developers. Existing academic literature and positive energy district guidelines are used to develop an analytical framework for the planning and design of positive energy districts and sustainable plus energy neighbourhoods. Results highlight an early focus on energy ambitions, wide stakeholder involvement, and the importance of aligning interests between stakeholders and working interdisciplinary in the planning and design phases to find optimal energy measures. Both the building and the neighbourhood/district level are important to increase energy efficiency, energy sufficiency, and energy flexibility, and consequently lower the environmental impact of the whole development project.

Impact of Health Infrastructure on the Growth of Surroundings Neighbourhood: A Case Study of Bhubaneswar

Abstract: This article looks at the several stages of expansion of Bhubaneswar, a city in eastern India. Because of infrastructural improvements, economic growth, and population expansion, Bhubaneswar has seen fast urban growth. Growth phases in particular locations around KIMS, SUM Hospital, and AIIMS Hospital are examined using data analysis from secondary data. The construction of residential spaces for patients, their families, and medical staff is credited with spurring the rise of prominent medical facilities. The study's objectives are to determine how the health infrastructure affects neighborhood development and growth in the vicinity of Bhubaneswar, as well as to examine the stages of development that various sectors go through over time in specific hospital-influenced zones.

Understanding the important characteristics of neighbourhoods to facilitate ageing in place and longevity.

This study investigates which local area characteristics, included in the Healthy Ageing/Vulnerable ENvironment (HAVEN) Index, are the strongest factors predicting transition into permanent residential aged care (PRAC) and mortality, and the geographic distribution of these factors. A retrospective cohort study of older individuals living in the community in Adelaide who received their first eligibility assessment for age care services between 2013 and 2015 (n = 16,939) was conducted. The study cohort, from the Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA), was linked by postcode to HAVEN Index items, selected following item response theory (IRT) analysis to determine the strongest local area factors associated with PRAC and mortality. Geospatial mapping of the factors determined the geographic distribution of these significant factors. Fourteen HAVEN Index items were associated with entry into PRAC and mortality. Three area-level items, lower educational attainment, financial housing stress and low levels of volunteering by older people, were risk factors for entry into PRAC and mortality while the remainder of the items identified were different for each outcome. The mapped local area risk factors for each outcome highlighted similar geographical areas of vulnerability. Local area characteristics are associated with entering PRAC and mortality. Our findings can inform area-level responses to make neighbourhoods more age-friendly, potentially allowing more people to age longer in place. Similar analyses, conducted for other areas, could provide evidence to support the widespread development of age-friendly neighbourhoods reducing area-level inequalities in ageing.
