dc.description.abstractAgeing in place is an established policy option to adapt existing urban settings to the needs of an increasingly older and rapidly ageing population. The possibility to access facilities and services is fundamental in this sense, but accessibility to relevant urban opportunities changes according to the places taken into account, affecting a neighbourhood potential for promoting ageing in place. In this paper, we aim to identify typologies of ageing neighbourhoods according to the access they provide to significant places and services. We propose a taxonomy based on (1) the concentration of older people, (2) their socioeconomic standing, (3) the amount of opportunities available within walking distance, and (4) the possibility of reaching public transport as a precondition to access valued opportunities in other areas of a city. Our analysis focuses on Santiago de Chile, a metropolis representative of other unequal, rapidly ageing Global South urban settings. We identify ageing neighbourhoods using hierarchical cluster analysis, and we define six categories according to the access they provide to relevant urban opportunities. Such accessibility-based taxonomy of ageing neighbourhoods can be relevant for promoting ageing in place cities, identifying what planning and policy actions are better suited to enhance accessibility to urban opportunities.
