Plan Better

In an era of aging populations, the URBANAGE ecosystem makes it easier for urban planners, decision-makers, and older adults to better co-design and develop inclusive, healthier, and happier cities where people can retain their independence for longer.

Powerful big data analytical models, citizen co-creation channels, and digital twin capabilities help people understand the impact of existing and potential planning actions on older generations. As a result cities can make better evidence-based planning choices to solve real citizen needs, and address societal challenges to develop

age-friendly cities
