Abstract

Perhaps the two most important demographic shifts in the world today are urbanization and population aging. More than half the world’s population is now living in cities, and there are more people over the age of 65 than under the age of 5 worldwide. This is an enormous demographic shift and will lead to a world greatly changed from that of a mere 50 years ago. Aging populations in cities represent a tremendous opportunity to harness human capital on a previously unimaginable scale, but, conversely, may lead to challenges to ensure that services are available to meet the needs and wants of these populations. The health of aging populations is rapidly emerging as one of the central urban health issues of the coming decades. This chapter discusses changing age demographics in cities worldwide and accompanying challenges and opportunities for urban health.

人口老龄化
也许当今世界最重要的两个人口变化是城市化和人口老龄化。现在,世界上一半以上的人口生活在城市,全世界65岁以上的人比5岁以下的人多。这是一个巨大的人口结构转变,将导致一个与50年前相比发生巨大变化的世界。城市中的老龄化人口代表着一个巨大的机会,可以以以前难以想象的规模利用人力资本,但反过来,可能会导致确保提供服务以满足这些人口的需求和需求的挑战。老龄化人口的健康正在迅速成为未来几十年城市健康的核心问题之一。本章讨论了世界各地城市年龄人口结构的变化以及随之而来的城市健康挑战和机遇。
