GreenCity4Aging: the effects of urban green streets on mobility, social integration and ageism against older people
The main focus of this project is on the perceptions, emotions and behaviours of older people regarding different urban street designs. In specific, we are interested in exploring perceived discrimination due to age (ageism), a topic studied from a socio-psychological perspective. Hence, psychology is the main scientific area for this project. However, the multidisciplinary nature of the team is a major advantage, creating the opportunity to investigate people-place factors more deeply and use methodologies commonly used in other fields (architecture, computer science) in order to test our hypotheses (e.g., virtual reality studies).
