Quarter management should contribute to making the local social environment lively and attractive for older people in order to enable senior citizens to age safely and independently in their familiar surroundings and within established structures for as long as possible. In addition to needs-based housing options and good basic services, local support services, advice and social networks are important components of a successful neighborhood concept. However, the focus is not exclusively on the specific problems of individuals, but rather on linking and supplementing existing structures with a view to ensuring security of supply for all older people in the neighborhood. In order to implement and realize this, different stakeholders need to work together and civic engagement needs to be promoted.
