Abstract

This chapter explores how green infrastructure strategies can improve health and well-being for ageing populations through sustainable urban design. With a focus on concepts such as ageing in place, the chapter demonstrates how access to green spaces reduces loneliness, enhances mobility, reduces falls and promotes holistic care, including those facing chronic conditions like oncology, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and frailty-related issues requiring specialised moving and handling practices. Aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it addresses equitable access to urban health solutions, sustainability, and social inclusion, proposing innovative urban planning solutions to foster improved mental and physical health outcomes for older adults.
