Urban ageing is an emerging domain that deals with the population of older people living
in cities. The ageing of society is a positive yet challenging phenomenon, as population ageing and
urbanisation are the culmination of successful human development. One could argue whether the city
environment is an ideal place for people to grow old and live at an old age compared to rural areas.
This viewpoint article explores and describes the challenges that are encountered when making cities
age-friendly in Europe. Such challenges include the creation of inclusive neighbourhoods and the
implementation of technology for ageing-in-place. Examples from projects in two age-friendly cities
in The Netherlands (The Hague) and Poland (Cracow) are shown to illustrate the potential of making
cities more tuned to the needs of older people and identify important challenges for the next couple
of years. Overall, the global ageing of urban populations calls for more age-friendly approaches to be
implemented in our cities. It is a challenge to prepare for these developments in such a way that both
current and future generations of older people can benefit from age-friendly strategies.
