All Things Urban

In this new free self-paced course by UMX, you will learn how cities can adapt to the needs of ageing populations through inclusive urban mobility. We’ll explore the demographic trends behind this shift, the barriers people in later life may face in urban environments, and the principles of age-friendly design that ultimately benefit everyone.

Drawing on the lecturers’ expertise and real-world case studies, the course highlights why designing with older adults in mind is both inclusive and future-proof. It shows how walkability, accessible transport, and long-term planning contribute to healthier, more liveable cities for people of all ages.
