Ageing And Place Perspectives, Policy, Practice

During recent years, an increasing amount of academic research has focused on older people with a particular emphasis on settings, places and spaces. This book provides a comprehensive review of research and the policy area of 'ageing and place'. An insightful book on an important topic, Andrews and Phillips have together edited a valuable information and reference source for those with interests in the spatial dimensions of ageing in the twenty-first century. Ranging from macro-scale perspectives on the distribution of older populations on national scales, to the meaning of specific local places and settings to older individuals, on the micro-scale, the book spans an entire range of research traditions and international perspectives.Andrews, Gavin J. is the author of 'Ageing And Place Perspectives, Policy, Practice', published 2004 under ISBN 9780415320443 and ISBN 0415320445.
