Join the Global Network of Age-friendly Cities and Communities (GNAFCC)

An age-friendly city or community is a place where people want to grow older, and which fosters healthy and active ageing.

The vision of the GNAFCC is that every city and community strives to become increasingly age friendly. Creating age-friendly environments requires a process across the life course that progressively improves the fit between people’s needs and the environments in which they live.

GNAFCC now has new membership documents. The document is available in English, Spanish, and Japanese.

In 2015, WKC published the “Measuring the age-friendliness of cities: a guide to using core indicators”, which provides technical guidance on selecting and using core indicators, monitoring and evaluating Age-friendly City initiatives.
