| description |
The aging of the population and the
increase in single-person households has led to lower
economic status among older persons in Seoul, which will
likely continue to decline in the future. Making Seoul an
age-ready city will require additional attention to many
such facets of life where older persons, especially those
living in single-person households, are concentrated. This
case study focuses on the built environment in terms of
three domains: aging in place, spatial accessibility and
mobility, and social inclusion. Aging in place allows older
persons to remain in familiar homes and surroundings.
Spatial accessibility and mobility allow them access to
destinations and facilitate getting around by providing
age-friendly modes of transportation and making the urban
environment barrier-free. A livable life also requires
social inclusion instead of isolation. Older persons should
be able to have connections with all generations of people. |
