Cities aren’t just faceless entities; they’re where we live, work, where we connect, where we play and where we shop. Isn’t it time that they take on a responsibility to make our lives better and support our well-being, at every stage of our lives? This is the key idea behind the City of Longevity, where the city walks hand in hand with us through our lives; not only by helping us take up new behaviours to prevent illness but by monitoring the health and happiness of all the people who live there to and to help us thrive at every stage of our lives. The City of Longevity programme is about empowering cities so they can become our true health partners.
The City of Longevity is a groundbreaking programme that goes beyond the limitations of conventional programs narrowly fixated on the challenges of just old age. The programme addresses the pressing needs of our communities in the here and now but also casts its gaze far into the future. The City of Longevity is an ally to both our older population and younger generations, ensuring their mutual well-being as they age. It is an all-encompassing approach that cultivates thriving urban landscapes for all ages.
The City of Longevity programme sees cities as living laboratories, where new ideas are nurtured and transformed into real improvements for all the people who live in them. We have developed a toolkit which can fast-track the transformation of cities communities into vibrant and healthy places to live.
