Abstract

The desire to achieve healthy wellbeing is an important aspect of Active Ageing. It can also be defined as the ability of involving physical activities, of aged population, in their daily life so as not only to stay fit but also to remain healthy to achieve healthy ageing. Physical activities like walking, exercise, yoga etc. not only help in healthy living but also scientifically proved to be an active measure to stay healthy and reduces the tendencies of health related diseases.

The design of community neighborhood is always a key factor to influence the support, care, security and homeliness for the aged population. It exerts a significant necessity for the aged people who are mainly affected by type of housing and their neighborhood settings. The design of built environment in India which is predominately denser in urban areas with high automobile dependency, is not sympathetic to the aged population for their safety and security. The ageing population is always a key challenge for social as well as planning policies. However, there is a limited source of literature which defines the strategic planning policies to sustain healthy ageing.
