This book presents a unique geographical perspective on issues of transport and mobility for ageing populations. Society is ageing across the globe. As well as living longer, older people are fitter, healthier and more active than previous generations were. There is both a desire and a need to be mobile in later life and mobility is clearly linked to older people's health and wellbeing. Yet mobility can be hard for older people and we don't always design our neighbourhoods, towns, cities and villages in an age friendly way.
With case studies from across the globe, authors take a geographical lens to the important topic of transport and mobility in later life. Chapters examine how the relationships between mobility, modes of transport, place and technologies affect an aging population.
This collection will be of interest to scholars and students in human geography, in particular those with interests in transport geography, mobilities, geographies of health and wellbeing, urban geographies and geographical gerontology. It will also appeal to practitioners and policy makers in urban design and planning, transport planning and engineering and public health who have interests in age-friendly cities and policy.
Autoren-Porträt
Angela Curl is a Lecturer in Health Geography at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Her research interests are focused around understanding people's perceptions and experiences of transport and mobility and how these intersect with the built environment, with a particular focus on older people's mobilities as a key interface between research in transport and health. She has previously worked in Urban Studies at the University of Glasgow, at the OPENspace research centre at the University of Edinburgh and as a transport planning practitioner.Charles Musselwhite is Associate Professor in Gerontology, Centre for Innovative Ageing (CIA), Swansea University, UK and heads-up the group's Environments and Ageing research strand. His research examines mobility and ageing, specifically studying travel behavior, road user safety and relationships with health and wellbeing. Prior to joining Swansea, he worked at the Centre for Transport Studies, University West of England.
