This pioneering initiative in Spain will enable Imserso to develop a national platform for the free analysis of collected data, offering the possibility of conducting advanced studies on the quality of life for older people in municipalities.
Over a three-month period, two Imserso surveyors will conduct questionnaires with individuals over 16 years old in various public spaces in Coslada, particularly in areas with high foot traffic. The Department of Social Services and Seniors has requested maximum citizen cooperation in responding to these surveys, which will also be available on the municipal website.
The Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities was promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2010 in response to rapid population aging and with the aim of connecting cities, communities, and organizations worldwide, with the common vision of making their environment a better place to age with dignity and quality.
Coslada's adherence to the WHO Age-Friendly Cities Network was unanimously approved in the Plenary Session on April 16, 2018. This network promotes local action, integrating aspects that impact the daily lives of municipalities and encouraging citizen participation to consider their needs and proposals in improving the environment for aging.
