Abstract

In 2050’s, the population of people above the age of 85 years will be seven times more than today. The city should be arranged with great care and sensitivity. The elderly confront various problems like escaping from the society, physical comparisons. The urban areas in cities become important place to visit for the elderly. The criteria of access, distance, come to the fore in determining their activity. Also micro environment designs in the public environment became an important criteria. Designs area required to be made in a way open to improvement, by looking at the changing dynamics of physical and intellectual powers, in consideration of variables dependant on aging and harmony of these people with their environment. Many studies from different disciplines have been produced to keep the elderly population in the city centres. However due to the lack of entegration among these studies and researches, the problems elderly people faced in the cities have remained unsolved. These problems can be solved only with the formation of necessary policies which should be produced in every scale from national governments to local goverments. It also requires an interdiscplines’ approach to tackle these problems.
