Design of urban ecological spaces in the Context of an aging society

Abstract

As societies age and ecological concerns intensify, integrating ecological principles into urban environments has become essential, yet traditional community spaces often fail to serve all age groups. Using Chengdu’s Luxiao TOD community as a case study, this paper introduces a “cross-generation ecological aesthetic garden” design strategy that enhances both environmental quality and social inclusivity. This framework offers theoretical foundations and practical guidelines for advancing age-friendly urban spaces and promoting ecological civilization.
