Summary/Abstract: The book focuses on the links between aging and urbanisation, precisely on the everyday life of an aging population of larger cities in the context of socio-spatial processes of regeneration and gentrification. What is the effect of changing external environment on the experience of aging? What is the impact of urban dynamics on the involvement of the elderly in social structures? Are larger Czech cities senior-friendly? The authors analyse the data obtained through mixed-method research (a standardised survey among citizens over 60 from larger cities combined with a qualitative research in focus groups and individual in-depth interviews).
