According to predictions about 30% of people around 2060 will be over the age 65, while age of 80 year and more will be achieved estimated by 12% of European Union population. Elongating life expectancy, low birth rate and aging of baby boom generation, forces on governments, authorities, politicians and economists, change of their approach towards policies, work market, but also in relation to cities’ development and management, especially in the range of public spaces. Seniors are economically and culturally active members of society, thus spatial planning and urban solutions, should be changed towards they needs and expectations.
