Why This Research Matters
How can Auckland become a more age-friendly, inclusive and responsive city for culturally diverse older communities? This study aims to understand how older Chinese migrants navigate health, wellbeing, and everyday life in an increasingly digital city. Their experiences are often overlooked in smart city and digital health planning, and the research hopes to support more inclusive and age-friendly approaches to future urban and health system design.
The research focuses on older adults’ lived experiences, community participation, service access, digital inclusion, and ideas for future urban wellbeing.
What to expect:
Small 'tea and chat' style workshops (Mandarin speaking) with fun activities where you can share ideas to shape an age-friendly Auckland.
