Creating age-friendly communities goes beyond active and positive living and health needs, public health outcomes and the persistence of health inequalities. Through the adoption of an age-friendly approach to planning and decision making in all areas of public life, we are actively creating an environment that facilitates citizens’ social engagement regardless of their age. “It may have been well-meaning, but we now talk and think about maternal health, child health, old people’s health, this artificial compartmentalization marginalises older people. By making us think about how we all link to each other, regardless of our age, age-friendly communities show us a different, more connected, future.” (Beard …quoted by Parry 2010)
