24 November 2020. The Government of Basque Country (Spain) and UN-Habitat organized the Expert Group Meeting "Cities for all: Aging and Inclusion", within the framework of Euskal Hiria 2020. Different national and international experts and institutional representatives discussed good practices, projects and urban policies focused on improving the living conditions of the elderly in cities.

By 2050, 37% of the population in Spain will be 65 years or older, compared to the current 20%. This implies a transition that inevitably affects the configuration of cities and forces us to rethink how cities should be understood, designed and managed to effectively integrate and include all social groups, including older people.

For this reason, the global Expert Group Meeting on "Cities for all: Aging and Inclusion", discussed urban policies focused on improving the living conditions of older people in cities, and shared a set of projects identified as good practices around four key aspects: housing, mobility, public space and health care.

The Meeting took place on November 23 and 24 and was attended by around 200 experts from around the world. It was celebrated within the framework of the EUSKAL HIRIA KONGRESUA 2020.
