Age Friendly Evanston
Aligned with The World Health Organization’s “Age Friendly Cities” project, Northwestern is partnering with the City of Evanston to improve the eight indicators of an age friendly city based on the views of older adults, informal caregivers, and service providers. These eight aspects of city life to evaluate the age friendliness of a city include:
- Outdoor spaces and buildings
- Transportation
- Housing
- Social participation
- Respect and social inclusion
- Civic participation and employment
- Communication and information
- Community support and health services
