Résumé

Aging demographics and urbanization are two of the most important socialtendencies facing the world's developed countries. Today cities must adjustif older people are to maintain quality of life. The age-friendly city is a citysuitable for everyone. The rewriting of the urban landscape with the elderlyin mind might be the key to urban regeneration. This research strives to build bridges between cognitive psychology andlandscape architecture in order to promote senior citizens' well-being in themetropolis.
It proposes a critical reflection on how urban landscapes, designed with evidence-based methodology can promote the psycho-physical welfare of the inhabitants, with particular focus on one of the most vulnerable groups. High quality neighbourhood green space is associated with mental healthbenefits, prevention of cognitive decline and dementia, reduced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, etc. However, the evidence base, related to healthy urban greenery, is poorly integrated in the planning, managementand design of urban green spaces.
Through a global current design practice analysis and the comparison oftwo European case studies (Copenhagen and Rome), analysed with quantitative and qualitative approaches, an Age-friendly Urban Nature Index was developed that aims to provide a tool for landscape architects and localdecision makers to support future urban planning and design.
