Type: article

Abstract: With the intensification of population aging, the enhancement of age-friendly standards in deteriorating urban communities has become an urgent issue that requires immediate attention. This paper delves into the strategies for age-friendly transformation of public spaces in the aging communities of Zhengzhou. Drawing on the theoretical foundations of age-friendly design, public space design, and community space planning, it proposes a multifaceted approach that involves improving spatial layouts, optimizing lighting and safety, increasing green spaces, enhancing social functions, integrating smart technologies, and implementing barrier-free designs. These measures aim not only to improve the quality of life for the elderly but also to invigorate the overall vitality of the community, thereby providing both theoretical foundations and practical guidance for the age-friendly renovation of Zhengzhou and other similar cities.
