Researching Age-Friendly Communities Cover

This guide evaluates the participatory dimension of a study that explored the age-friendliness of three wards in the city of Manchester.

The purpose of the study was to examine opportunities and constraints for older people living in urban environments with a view to improving their experience of living in the city.

It builds on policy priorities in the context of Manchester City Council being an active member of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities.
