Popis: Manchester's older residents together with statutory, voluntary and independent agencies are leading the development of partnership work and supporting varied initiatives to improve elders' quality of life in Manchester. They aim to tackle the city's health and other inequalities and address specific challenges of growing older in deprived urban areas. Manchester Valuing Older People last year published its ageing strategy and the city has now joined the global network of age‐friendly cities. This paper describes progress and some of the current issues and opportunities.
