Meeting of Pilot Sites of the Age-friendly City Core Indicator Guide
The WHO Kobe Centre (WKC) conducted a pilot study in 15 sites to test the feasibility of measuring indicators of age-friendly cities and communities in diverse contexts around the world.
The 15 pilot sites in 12 different countries each made their best attempt at gathering data to measure indicators aimed at addressing the accessibility of the physical environment, the inclusiveness of the social environment, the impact on quality of life, and the equity dimensions of each, all within the context of their local community.
Upon completion of the study, representatives of the pilot sites were convened in WHO Geneva Headquarters on 10-11 June, 2015, to discuss the importance of the adaptability of the indicators and other issues that will contribute to the finalization of the indicator guide.
