Abstract

This study focuses on older adults, who are disproportionately vulnerable to climate change due to their health, physical, and socioeconomic conditions. On the one hand, climate change has grown into the most challenging issue on the international agenda for the twenty-first century due to its adverse impacts. On the other hand, the global population has been ageing rapidly, especially in urban areas. The link between these two major concerns is unclear in theory and practice; hence, easy-to-use universal guidelines offering possible solutions for governments, institutions, and communities for irreme-diable impacts are an urgent necessity. Based on this imperative, this article presents climate change–responsive age-friendly city domains through a critical literature review. Seven domains are prioritized at various scales to represent the core planning areas of age-friendliness and climate-change resilience in urban areas: environmental safety, information and participation, health and social services on the city scale, surroundings and transportation on the neighbourhood scale, outdoor spaces and thermal comfort, and housing on the housing cluster scale. The interaction between these two concerns in the framework provided by this study contributes to raising awareness, building actions, and directing policies from a global perspective.
将气候变化响应整合到老年友好型城市领域:一个理论综述
这项研究的重点是老年人,由于他们的健康、身体和社会经济条件,他们特别容易受到气候变化的影响。一方面,气候变化因其不利影响已成为21世纪国际议程上最具挑战性的问题。另一方面,全球人口正在迅速老龄化,尤其是在城市地区。这两个主要问题之间的联系在理论和实践中都不清楚;因此,迫切需要制定易于使用的通用指南,为政府、机构和社区提供可能的解决方案,以应对不可挽回的影响。基于这一迫切需要,本文通过批判性的文献综述,提出了气候变化响应的年龄友好型城市域。七个领域在不同的尺度上被优先考虑,以代表城市地区老年人友好和气候变化适应能力的核心规划领域:城市尺度上的环境安全、信息和参与、健康和社会服务、社区尺度上的环境和交通、户外空间和热舒适,以及住房集群尺度上的住房。在本研究提供的框架中,这两个问题之间的相互作用有助于从全球角度提高认识、建立行动和指导政策。
