City4Age will activate urban Communities to facilitate the role of social/health services and of families in dealing with mild cognitive impairments and frailty in the elderly population. The challenge is to demonstrate that Citiesplay a pivotal role in the unobtrusive collection of more data on individual behaviours, and with increased frequency. This can then greatly improve the early detection of risks through the timely analysis of changes in these behaviours and, finally, the design of effective interventions for countering these risks.

This co-creation study aimed to develop a smartphone self-test application for balance and leg strength in collaboration between older adults and the research team. The paper describes older participants' preferences for, and their contribution to, the application design. The main results were participants' desire to know why, to get clear and appropriate information, and expectations of the self-test to be useful. It was feasible and valuable to develop the self-test application in co-creation with the intended user-group, in order to get direct feedback and suggestions for the development.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which emerged in Wuhan city of China's Hubei province inDecember 2019, affected the whole world in a short period of 3 months. The Covid19 outbreak, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization as ofMarch 12, 2020; was imposed significant restrictions on the use of open spaces, whichadversely affected the daily life of individuals physically, mentally and socially. Apartfrom the health problems experienced by people, it has also created many spatialchoices and changes. New preferences, where social distance is at the forefront, havestarted new venue organizations along with new requests. Although the changesexperienced with the Covid-19 pandemic may seem negative, they containopportunities that allow change and development. Making people's livingenvironments more functional, remembering the importance of nature and reviewingsocial relations can be evaluated in this context. Looking from history to the present,the Covid-19 pandemic is not the first and will not be the last. For this reason, thestudy aims to investigate the change in the spatial preferences in the society with thepandemic and to create an idea for the next pandemics. In this context, 289 peoplewere reached by using the online survey method and various questions were asked.Various results were obtained and interpreted by performing variance analysis, factoranalysis, correlation analysis, crosstabs test and frequency analysis (P?0.01) on theobtained data. As a result of the study, from the statistical data, it has been observedthat 'people are more oriented to nature' due to the Covid-19 pandemic and that opengreen spaces suitable for social distance are sought in spatial preferences. Thesefindings shed new light on the value of urban nature as resilience infrastructure duringa time of crisis.

Andalusia is a region in the south of Spain with 8,4 million inhabitants of which 1,3 million are over 65 years old. Andalusia has been recognized as Reference Site by the European Commission within the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Aging. The Regional Ministry of Health of Andalusia has put in place strategies to promote healthy and active aging. One of these strategies is enbuenaedad, a digital platform which main aim is to foster active and healthy aging. The target audience is people over 55 years old, caregivers of older adults, as well as health and other key professionals who work with this population. Content sections are inspired in the three pillars of the World Health Organization (WHO) policy framework for active and healthy aging: health, participation, and security, but introducing an additional one which is lifelong learning. One of the strengths of this platform is the creation process. Using a co-thinking design, all target groups get voice under the umbrella of empathy and are empowered by providing support, training, knowledge, and best practices. For its development, dissemination, maintenance, and improvement, the project advocates the unavoidable participation of key stakeholders representing all sectors involved: The Senior Council of Andalusia; Primary Health Care professionals; local authorities; Guadalinfo agents; Permanent Adult Education; and Active Participation Centers. Quantitative and qualitative data obtained within the process support this project. Since its launching, 10,779 users have registered to the platform with more than 157,000 visits. Focusing on WHO four pillars on active and healthy aging Enbuenaedad is based on, preliminary results show effectiveness regarding participation and social interaction. Furthermore, achieving high participation coverage is a necessary but not sufficient input to the provision of adequate approach to older people. More comprehensive evaluation of the four pillars must be taken to ensure a holistic approach. A challenge is a cooperation between three traditionally independent sectors, cooperative work between health, social services, and education is crucial for the future sustainability of this intervention.
