The eight domains of age-friendly are all the aspects of community life that need to be considered when making your plans. All eight domains interlink but can be broken into two spheres covering the social and the built environment:

The outside environment and public buildings have a major impact on the mobility, independence and quality of life of people in later life.

Transportation, including accessible and affordable public transport, is a key issue for people in later life.

Social participation is strongly connected to good health and wellbeing throughout life.


An age-friendly community provides options for people in later life to continue to contribute to their communities.

Staying connected with events and people and getting timely, practical information to manage life and meet personal needs is vital for active ageing.
