Growing Older in World Cities: New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, edited by Victor G. Rodwin and Michael K. Gusmano
New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo are the four largest cities among the wealthiest, most developed nations of the world. The essays commissioned for this volume compare what it is like to grow older in these cities with respect to health care, quality of life, housing, and long-term care. The contributors look beyond aggregate national data to highlight the importance of how local authorities implement policies.
