Making Stockholm Better for Seniors

The City Executive Board has developed an action plan for an "age-friendly city," aiming to ensure older citizens have a good life with favorable conditions in Stockholm. While the Education Administration supports the plan, they object to being required to set their own goals and follow-up, as older adults are not their primary target group. They suggest that the requirement to formulate specific activities should only apply to boards and companies directly involved with elderly affairs. The action plan focuses on five areas: participation, collaboration, social inclusion, housing/urban environment, and communication.
