| description | The InCities project was initiated to develop new attitudes to senior citizens’ mobility in urban settings so that they are more age-sensitive and based on increasing urban green mobility. The knowledge source came from answers to a public questionnaire circulated to elderly citizens, and the results enabled understanding of the real mobility problems that seniors face. The procedure is based on a redefinition of urban space and subsequent revitalisation and remodelling of streets, squares, parks, embankments and green public space. This includes reduced unnecessary car traffic and noise, environmental pollution and traffic accidents where elderly citizens are the most endangered group. This does not mean reduced mobility for the elderly, because improvement in these areas is essential for their quality of life, and this should be supported by age-appropriate transport systems. This then enables older citizens’ inclusion in society. Most importantly, green modes of transport should be modernised and further developed. The green transport mode includes walking, jogging, cycling and senior-friendly transport, especially on public trains, trams and buses. |
