Abstract

The present paper analyses the phenomenon of ‘Age-Friendly City’ for competitively better technological support, with the fairly superior training and healthier environment for the aged population. The ‘Age-friendly city’ concept is a response against the care crisis, traditional care mechanism, and social exclusion of elderly people. Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan has been identified for present research which is also recognized under the smart city project. The ground for selecting Jaipur city for the present study considers the facts presented in ‘Jaipur Master Development Plan 2025’ which is not showing a major concern for ‘Age-friendly’ development in Jaipur city. This study covers all concerns to develop an exploratory framework and guidelines that have been designed to address the shifting needs of the elderly.
