Abstract

The built environment is shown to be an important factor affecting the active aging. Due to the decline of the physical functions of the elderly, the range of activities is narrowed in a small area of the neighborhood scale, as their most frequented places. Based on a review of the related documents, this paper establishes an interactive relationship between the built environment of the neighborhood and the active aging in three aspects:The walking environment, the public service facilities and the elderly platforms. It is shown that in the renewal construction of the neighborhood environment, it is desirable to build a pedestrian network of different circles and age groups; to set up a variety of public service facilities in line with the pedestrian network; to create a platform for the elderly to integrate into the social affairs, as well as to formulate suitable policies for the elderly to be integrated into the community.
