Research on the Planning and Design of Smart Communities for the Elderly-A Case Study of Shanghai City

In recent years, as the population ages and technology develops rapidly, smart community construction has become an important means to meet the aging challenge and enhance the elderly's quality of life. This study focuses on the planning and design of smart communities in Shanghai for the elderly, aiming to solve the problem of how smart communities can better meet the needs of the elderly. This study takes six villages in Xinjing, Beixinjing Street, Changning District, Shanghai as the main research object, and comprehensively uses the methods of field investigation, case analysis and questionnaire survey to deeply analyze the current situation of its intelligence and residents' use feedback. It is found that the six villages in Xinjing have made some achievements in smart facilities, but there are some shortcomings in smart medical care and smart platforms. Based on this, this paper puts forward some targeted strategies, such as reasonable planning of smart facilities according to residents' needs, strengthening the integration of smart medical care and recreational sports facilities, and building a comprehensive smart platform, so as to provide reference examples for the aging construction of smart communities in Shanghai and even the whole country.
