Overview

Qualitative research investigates the impact of urban changes on low-income older adults’ community engagement, suggesting new understandings of ageing experiences.

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore how urban transformations affect the ageing-in-place practices of low-income older adults in a segregated neighborhood.
  • Conducted qualitative and ethnographic research in Via Milano, Brescia.
  • Examined the effects of urban changes on the ageing practices of older adults.
  • Analyzed the relationship between socioeconomic status and community engagement.
  • Urban regeneration plans and growing ethnic diversity create precarity for low-income older adults.
  • These changes hinder older adults' ability to engage in community life.
  • Emergence of fragile forms of solidarity, such as mutual aid, challenges urban exclusion.
