In view of the rapid population ageing in Hong Kong, a 5-year charity-funded project ‘The Jockey Club Age-friendly City Project’ was launched in 2015. Partnering with four academic institutions, the project visions to evolve Hong Kong as an age-friendly city through evaluating the territory-wide age-friendliness according to the age-friendly city domains identified by the World Health Organization (World Health Organization, 2007) and suggesting a suitable framework for relevant stakeholders to follow and act upon. As the Jockey Club Age-friendly project is still ongoing, the actions derived from this project are yet to be confirmed. For details of the action plan and suggestions, please refer to its report on age-friendliness: https://www.jcafc.hk/uploads/docs/Cross-district-report-of-baseline-assessment-on-age-friendliness-(18-districts).pdf  (Jockey Club Institute of Ageing et al., 2019).
