Abstract
When UN released the “Global Age Friendly Cities: A Guide” in 2007, the concern around ageing people and their
needs was evident. As the world ages, the built environment requires special attention in order to assist this growing
part of the society. An age-friendly city demands an inclusive design that includes e.g. green spaces, safe pavements
and safe pedestrian crossings. Also, mobility in cities and new forms of transport as bicycles and electrical scooters
demand the update of urban design guidelines and urban policies.
The goals of this study are to provide an overview of existing literature regarding emotions and perception from older
people related to the exterior built environment by mapping these publications according to several criteria.
