Boston became a member of the World Health Organization’s Age-Friendly Cities network in 2014, and its first Age-Friendly Boston Action Plan was published in 2017. Through a combination of community forums, surveys, and other community engagement efforts, this presentation highlights key shifts in the needs and priorities of older residents over time with evidence from the 2025 Age-Friendly planning process. Results from a mixed methods analysis of 35 community forums, 1,308 surveys representing  \n11 languages across the 21 unique neighborhoods in Boston will be presented. Notably, data suggests the shifting needs of Boston’s older adults over time reflects the success of the City’s efforts in instituting the 2017 action plan. While earlier conversations focused primarily on issues like housing and economic security, more recent discussions have increasingly centered on social connection, a sense of belonging, and civic engagement. The evolving needs of the community reflect a growing recognition of the importance of social fulfillment and communication. Additionally, new insights suggest that neighborhood-level differences have emerged as a critical focus. This presentation will highlight the progress made in Age-Friendly Boston’s efforts, while also offering insights into the changing needs and expectations of older Bostonians as they navigate a changing urban environment.","cbCailVeuIfmkGX8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailVeuIfmkGX8","pdf",358365,"English","# Abstract\n## Background and planning milestones\n## Methods and evidence base\n## Key shifts in older residents’ needs","[{\"question\":\"What planning timeline does the presentation cover?\",\"answer\":\"It traces Boston’s Age-Friendly Cities membership from 2014 and references the 2017 Age-Friendly Boston Action Plan, then focuses on evidence from the 2025 second-cycle planning process.\"},{\"question\":\"What data sources are used in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The presentation reports results from mixed methods analysis of 35 community forums and 1,308 surveys representing 11 languages across 21 neighborhoods in Boston.\"},{\"question\":\"How did priorities of older residents change over time?\",\"answer\":\"Earlier discussions emphasized housing and economic security, while more recent discussions increasingly center on social connection, a sense of belonging, civic engagement, and social fulfillment and communication.\"}]","COMING BACK AROUND: LESSONS FROM THE SECOND CYCLE OF AGE FRIENDLY BOSTON PLANNING | PDF",1790642646]
