From academic to policy circles, the ageing of the population is becoming a major focus of discussion and concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) has dedicated to ‘ageing’ its annual “World Health Day in 2012”. The European Union (EU) has designated 2012 the “Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations”. The debate on how to deal with such phenomenon, its challenges and opportunities, suggests as a solution to Active Ageing, the “process of optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security in order to enhance quality of life as people age”. Within this picture, new demands of mobility will arise, requiring the design of living urban environments friendly
towards the elderly people, particularly pedestrians, to whom should be granted access to a sustainable mobility.
