A global report that calls for cities to become "age-ready" by designing themselves around older people has been launched from Newcastle.
The National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA), based at Newcastle's Helix site, teamed up with the World Bank to launch a report this week that calls on cities to focus on six themes including universal design, housing solutions, multi-generational spaces, better transport, technology and efficient spatial planning.
Its findings were launched by NICA-based academics Prof Nicola Palmarini and Prof Tom Kirkwood, as well as representatives from The World Bank.
