Summary Annotation Over the next 25 years, some 70 million people will retire, to be replaced by just 5 million new workers. Most elderly persons in OECD countries live in urban areas, thus this demographic trend will affect urban citizens in all age groups. This publication includes the proceedings of the OECD conference on ageing, housing and urban development, held in Oslo in June 2000. Urban policies and governance can become more responsive and innovative. The potential of older people should be used and a better quality of life should be provided. Ageing will affect urban design and development in terms of housing, land use, transportation and the urban environment. There is a growing role of new technologies in member countries.
