OBJECTIVE

The project aims to:

• Promote active, inclusive and diverse aging through accessible and friendly public outdoor spaces that favor social interaction and promote physical activity for everyone.

• Prevent and mitigate perceptions of unwanted loneliness through the design of outdoor spaces, which improve emotional health and promote the social inclusion of the elderly.

• Increase functional autonomy and improve the perception of safety (especially on the part of women), to allow all older people to explore and enjoy the urban and/or rural environment with ease and quality.

• Support independent living and bridge the digital divide by designing smart digital urban environments.

• Create a design guide aimed at professionals and institutions involved in urban planning to promote the transformation of the physical space that people walk through.

• Develop several pilot projects, applying the design guide developed to evaluate, improve and validate the proposed model.

• Define a roadmap to accompany the institutions involved/interested in the actual execution of the pilot projects.

• Promote the model proposed in Gipuzkoa in the rest of the Basque Country, Spain and Europe.
