[The social city and the elderly].
Despite the importance of the idea of accommodation and the elderly, this group is currently not the main focus of the "Socially Integrative City" (Soziale Stadt) program. From the perspective of this important target group, housing and the living environment, local supply, mobility, health promotion, and the integration of immigrants are important fields of action that should be further considered. This requires, above all, involving the elderly in planning and implementation of projects and measures for integrated neighborhood development by intense activation and participation. In addition, local partnerships between government, social and health services, housing associations, business and local initiatives (clubs, self-help organizations) are prerequisite for successful development neighborhood.
