Résumé
As the world's population continues to age and urbanization accelerates, the focus of urban sustainability has evolved towards promoting the needs and well-being of older adults in addition to environmental concerns. Urban environments have a significant impact on the experiences of city dwellers, particularly of older adults, and from this perspective certain neighborhoods present greater challenges than others. To address issues related to aging, cities around the world have launched initiatives to improve urban sustainability for older adults, ranging from redesigning public spaces to providing opportunities for social interaction. However, to design effective interventions, open-access data related to urban environments must be collected and analyzed to identify neighborhoods with the greatest need for improvement. This paper presents a case study of the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolis in France, showing that a range of assessment indicators focused on walkability and urban form can be calculated using openaccess data. Through the presentation of these indicators and exploratory analysis results in a visual and interactive format (HTML-based platform), planners and policymakers can quickly identify patterns and trends, thereby helping them identify neighborhoods with the most significant needs and create more effective policies.
