Traversing the cityscape: locating age-friendly, age inclusion and age equity

This chapter examines global ageing and health paradigms, which provide the (g)local context for policies, care programs and care practices to support older adults’ ageing. Using scoping review methods, the chapter explores how these paradigms have shifted to include both individualised responsibility for ageing and welfare state strategies that aim to improve conditions within which to age. The review of the age-friendly, age-inclusive, and age-equity literatures shows how further attention is needed in the academic and policy spaces to address age equity and the needs of culturally, linguistically and socioeconomically diverse older adults.
