Globally, population ageing is gaining research and policy precedence. For the first time in human history, there are more people over the age of 65 than under 5. As the life space of individuals shrink with age, the task of enabling them to remain autonomous within familiar environments while ameliorating the effects of functional decline has become urgent. The discourse on age-friendly environments has understandably attracted increasing attention.
An annotated bibliography in relation to age-friendly environment and cities is timely and well-positioned to guide this emergent need. It serves as a quick informed guide to the research terrain, which will be helpful for researchers seeking to define a new focus and avoid duplication. It is informative on the rich body of the literature that is accessible.
This annotated bibliography is the third of a collective series on critical topics of ageing. Past annotations covered research on housing, arts and culture for older population. The Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities under its Lee Li Ming Programme in Ageing Urbanism has recently completed a seminal study on Innovative Planning and Design of Age-Friendly Neighbourhoods in Singapore, funded by the National Research Foundation and Ministry of National Development, Singapore. The Centre continues to promote research and innovation on urban issues including Future of Cities, Urban Environmental Sustainability.
We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of SUTD Library towards the compilation of grey literature on Singapore in this annotated bibliography. In particular, we thank the excellent support of University Librarian Judy Teo and her team led by Joel Teo and their colleagues, Jessie Tang and Li Zhen Yan. This volume draws on research undertaken under the Lee Li Ming Programme in Ageing Urbanism at the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, Singapore University of Technology and Design. We are deeply grateful to Mrs Lee Li Ming for funding our ageing research.
Singapores population is rapidly ageing due to a combination of low birth rates and increasing longevity. The number of Singaporean residents aged 65 years and older is projected to increase from the present 540,000900,000 by 2030 (Department of Statistics ).
In the residential neighbourhood, Singapores approach to creating ageing-friendly environments has three interrelated aims: (1) to ensure that older adults remain physically active and healthy; (2) to encourage older adults to be socially active and minimise social isolation; and (3) to support ageing in place for as long as possible. Ageing in place in Singapore is closely related to neighbourhood life and amenities. The emphasis is on age-friendly housing, neighbourhoods, towns and communities as individual lifespace becomes constricted with age (Ageing Planning Office, n.d.). We prefer the term ageing-friendly as it presents a more all-encompassing term that holistically addresses older adults lived experience. This term is derived from lifespan developmental psychology and proposes an integrated model of ageing well. The model comprises five interrelated concepts that reflect older adults needs: continuity, compensation, connection, contribution and challenge (Scharlach ). To attain these goals requires adequate supports like social and physical environments, in particular, the immediate neighbourhoods that provide opportunities for older adults to fulfil their needs. However, as most of the literature uses the term age-friendly, we will comply and continue with this term in this publication unless ageing-friendly is specifically mentioned in the documents.
