ABSTRACT

The current demographic issue in China is facing the dual challenges of negative natural growth rate and accelerated deepening of the aging society. This paper reviews China's experience in the field of urban design in response to the challenges of aging, with the theme of population aging, and presents a literature review at three levels: macro design principles, meso design ideas, and micro design specifications. Based on the CNKI database, by reviewing and summarizing China's empirical measures in the field of urban design under aging since 2011, this paper aims to provide a reference for future scholars to study the issue. The study found that the academic community mainly used qualitative research methods, with more recommendations for the renovation of streets, squares, parks and neighborhoods in public spaces.
