Urban design impact on elderly women in Chile
Overview
Research from the University of Chile’s Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism has examined how urban environments in Santiago affect the autonomy and daily lives of older women. The studies, published in the journals Cities and Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, identify how physical elements like sidewalks, hallways, gardens, and benches can either facilitate social networking and caregiving or act as barriers to mobility.
As Chile faces a demographic shift toward an older population, researchers emphasize the importance of “aging in place,” which allows elderly individuals to remain in their communities safely. The findings suggest that urban design and housing infrastructure are essential to maintaining the quality of life and independence for this demographic.
