Ageing population and urbanization have become global concerns in recent years. Concepts such as 'ageing-in-place' and 'active ageing' deal with issues of ever-larger elderly population living in the cities, especially in old urban neighbourhoods, while also taking into consideration the evolving lifestyles and well-being of the diverse elderly's demographics. To continue living in these existing urban neighbourhoods thus requires necessary interventions, both to adapt the changing needs of the ageing population and to improve the deteriorating environment for better liveability.
