URBACT healthy ageing cities:Development of city policy to improve planning for and with older people

FGB supported the Municipality of Udine to develop and carry on one of the 6 Pilot Transfer Networks promoted by the URBACT programme to promote good practices transfer among European cities. The objective of the project was to promote the knowledge exchange on health and active ageing among the cities of  Klaipéda (Lithuania), Edimburgh,  Brighthon and Hove (UK) and Poitiers (France). The good practices the City of Udine developed are: the development of a Healthy Ageing Profile of the city; the mapping of elderly people in the city and the matching with social services, the implementation of the Vancouver Protocol of the OMS among others. Along the project there were meetings among cities representatives to brainstorm, share, exchange ideas on how to deal with population ageing and wellbeing. Among the activities: tudy visits, three Thematic Trans-National meetings and several visits and consultancies of experts to the network cities.
