Foreword Across the OECD, the share of older adults in the urban population is growing rapidly, including in theOECD’s largest cities that continue to grow and serve as magnets for younger people. Whether growingor not, these profound demographic changes are forcing cities to re-evaluate urban policies on investment,infrastructure, urban spaces, housing and services to ensure that they are able to cater to all age groups. As part of the OECD’s work on promoting inclusive growth in cities and managing demographic change inregions, this report provides a number of actions that governments can take to respond to rapid ageingand, in the process, transform cities into age-inclusive places that ensure opportunities, accessibilityandsafety for residents at every stage of life. In promoting an “age-inclusive” approach–such as universally accessible public transport, diversifiedhousing options, investment in the“silver economy”and telemedicine–the report highlights direct andimmediate benefits to well-being of residents and economic growth but also emphasises how such anapproach can generate broader and long-lasting benefits for quality urbanisation, climate resilienceanddigital inclusion.For example, reskilling older adults so they can continue to work if they choose to do socan help ease labour market tightness in many OECDmembercountries and improve digital literacy skills,enabling access to many public e-services, including health. The report also considers the economic andsocial costs of inaction. For example,investing in pedestrian safety to encourage active mobility can helpreduce emissions and the longer-term costs (on health and the environment) associated with them. The report provides achecklist of ninekey actions that governments at all levels can take to createage-inclusive cities. Grounded in global best practices from both national and local governments, thechecklist offers a practical tool for designing cities that meet the needs of all generations. An earlier version of the report was presented for discussion at the 36thWorking Party on Urban Policy ofthe Regional Development Policy Committee on 3December2024 under cote[CFE/RDPC/URB(2024)22].
