URBANAGE

​The digital era is influencing urban planning, but so is our ageing population. Age-friendly cities, especially in the digital era, are crucial to help ensure urban environments are suitable for everyone. The EU-funded URBANAGE project will assess the potential benefits, risks and impacts of implementing a long-term sustainable framework for data-driven decision-making in the field of urban planning for ageing well in cities. The findings will shed light on how to ensure older adults (who are less digitally literate) can remain engaged in decision-making processes. The project will develop a decision support ecosystem integrating urban digital twins, multidimensional big data analysis as well as modelling and simulation with artificial intelligence algorithms.
