The ageing of our populations is a tendency that has been occurring in all nations surrounding the Baltic Sea Region for the past few decades.

It is a demographic shift that has had huge ramifications on society and will continue to have an impact on Europe in the foreseeable future.

What strategies can we use to adjust to this new reality?

What measures can we take to make our cities more appealing to the senior population?

What steps can we take to make public spaces more senior-friendly?

A reduction in ageism should be implemented in modern public spaces, and these spaces should be welcoming to all visitors.

When it comes to public space, however, the expense is the most major hindrance to its utilization.

Knowing that the Baltic Sea Region is the European Union’s furniture manufacturing powerhouse opens the door to a plethora of opportunities for business.

The BaltSenior initiative initiated a discussion about the importance of taking into account safety and ageing-friendly standards when designing and purchasing furniture for public spaces.

We have gathered best practices from several nations and are currently trying to make the Baltic Sea Region even more senior-friendly and accessible.
