Abstract

Age-friendly public spaces can improve older adults’ life quality and health. This study investigates low-income Chinese American/immigrant older adults’ needs, preferences, and encountered challenges in public space at two different contexts: central-city Chinatown and suburban Monterey Park in metropolitan Los Angeles. Findings reveal both common and different cultural preferences for public space activities, features, and facilities in these two contexts, as well as the importance of security, proximity, accessibility of neighbourhood public spaces, and culture-related activities and programmes in Chinese. Focusing on this underrepresented group, the study aims to enhance equitable public space planning and design.
