Developing age-friendly communities has become a significant dimension in debates in social policy (Buffel, Phillipson, & Scharf, 2012). A variety of factors has stimulated discussion around this topic, including, first, the impact of demographic change across the global north and south (Menec, Means, Keating, Parkhurst, & Eales, 2011); second, awareness of the impact of urban change on older people, notably in areas experiencing social and economic deprivation (Buffel, Phillipson, & Scharf, 2013); and third, debates about good or optimal places to age, as reflected in debates around lifetime homes and lifetime neighborhoods (Scharlach & Lehning, 2013).
