ABSTRACT
It has been observed that many older people after retirement would like to visit various green open spaces in the city to exercise, socialize and for doing different leisure activities. With the continuous growth in the aging population, there is a need for us to review whether the important urban open spaces can meet the needs of the changing population. The study aims at finding out the existing problems in planning and design of public open space and also finding out the needs of the elderly, so that better public open space can be provided to suit the elderly’s expectation/needs.
