Active and Healthy Ageing: Blended Models and Common Challenges in Supporting Age-Friendly Cities and Communities

Résumé

Inspired by previous works on active ageing (Boudiny and Mortelmans 2011; Boudiny 2013; Moulaert and Biggs 2013; Moulaert and Paris 2013; Moulaert and Viriot Durandal 2013) and its application within Age Friendly Cities and Communities (AFCC) programs (Garon et al. 2014; Moulaert and Houioux 2013; Paris et al. 2013; Paris, Garon, and Beaulieu 2012), this chapter aims to answer a fundamental question: Where do we go from here? The first two sections present the notions of active and healthy ageing within their historical context. The third section addresses three critics applicable to both of them. Finally, the last section proposes one step forward in giving a deeper importance to empowerment. While this element has not been absent from some definitions (e.g., Walker 2002), we propose placing it at the center of the argument. In doing so, we have the opportunity to take initial steps towards an integrative framework on active and healthy ageing that could be applied in AFCC programs.
