Summary:

During recent years, an increasing amount of academic research has focused on older people with a particular emphasis on settings, places, and spaces. This book provides a comprehensive review of research and the policy area of ageing and place. It provides a valuable information and reference source for those with interests in the spatial dimensions to ageing in the twenty-first century. Ranging from macro-scale perspectives on the distribution of older populations on national scales, to the meaning of specific local places and settings to older individuals on the micro-scale, the book spans an entire range of research tradition and international perspectives.
