Abstract
The increasing ageing of the population in European cities is driving the adoption of urban ageing policies, which are increasingly based on the integration of smart technologies in urban planning and, consequently, the promotion of sustainable solutions. However, maintaining a balance between technological progress and socio-economic variables is crucial for success. Investing in home automation and healthcare innovation can significantly improve the lives of our ageing population. This comprehensive research study explores the link between age-friendly environments and public value creation in the context of the rapid development of smart cities. The findings underline the need for policies that take into account the needs of older citizens and harness the potential of technology to create sustainable and inclusive cities. Understanding and addressing these issues will contribute to healthier and happier urban environments for all citizens.
