Silver Ways

To encourage the urban mobility of seniors, Silver Ways introduces a novel approach that integrates the development of an age-friendly 15-minute neighbourhood index with a walkable routing system. Unlike conventional shortest path methods, this approach prioritises routes that align with specific needs of older adults. Older adults will test the proposed routes during guided city walks. Ultimately, the Silver 15-Minute Neighbourhood Index will be developed to evaluate the accessibility of essential amenities like healthcare and shopping along these age-friendly routes. In partnership with municipal stakeholders, this index and the walkable routes will be used to co-design urban planning solutions that improve older adults' accessibility and enhance their quality of life.
