| Description | The study focuses on population ageing in the three most populated Czech cities – Prague, Brno and Ostrava. The dynamical changes to city centres in the past twenty years have brought about specific challenges for the elderly. This article is based on an analysis of general national statistics of the urban population, but it also introduces new results from a recent representative survey dedicated to the perception of changing urban environments by the ageing inhabitants themselves. |
