Necessity of urban appropriation due to increase of aging population

Pointing to the age of the current community in the country, an urban planning expert said, "Concerning the fact Isfahan’s aging population is increasing, we should take a measure to meet the needs of this group of people in the near future."

Isfahan (IMNA) – "Appropriating the urban spaces of Isfahan isn’t limited only to meeting the enabled people's needs, but also a wide range of people in the society need to access to the urban facilities easily," Elham Nazemi said.

Referring to the taken out measures to make appropriate urban spaces, she added, "In the past few years, we have been the witnesses of appropriating the pavements, but we are still far away from the desirable quality; unfortunately, parks and departments which have public usages are not appropriated for disabled people's traffic. However, we can respond to disabled people's needs only if the city, public and recreational places undergo appropriation."

Pointing to the necessity of a special plan to identify disabled citizens, she noted, "Disabled group should be identified, then the needs and demands of them that are in line with other people in many cases, should be met."

"The appropriation of a city is not only related to the municipality, but also it depends on the participation of all the responsible organizations and the public participation," she emphasized.
