In this meeting, the performance report of the specialized working groups of the executive agencies represented on the headquarters was reviewed, and the capacities, plans, and proposals presented to achieve the goals of an age-friendly city were discussed and exchanged. The executive advisor of the Welfare Organization also presented a report on the progress of related actions and programs, and the operational issues and upcoming priorities for expanding intersectoral cooperation were reviewed. An age-friendly city does not merely mean adapting a few urban spaces; rather, it is a comprehensive approach to urban management that includes accessibility of streets and public spaces, safe mobility, appropriate transportation, access to urban services, social participation, and the preservation of the independence and dignity of older adults. Based on this, coordination between the municipality and executive agencies, and turning specialized programs into operational and evaluable projects, are among the requirements for realizing this approach in Arak; an approach whose ultimate goal is to create a safer, more accessible city with equal opportunities for the active presence of older adults in social life.
