Past Projects

The Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group (MUARG) has undertaken extensive research to improve the lives of older people in urban environments.

Our previous projects have explored a wide of topics, including age-friendly cities and communities, experiences of ageing in place, ethnic inequalities in later life, and the social exclusion faced by older people in urban settings. We have also focused on urbanisation and ageing in the Global South, coping with loneliness in later life, and assessing the suitability of housing for older people. Through these diverse projects, MUARG has contributed valuable insights and evidence to support healthy ageing and enhance the quality of life for older adults in cities.
