🌍 Life expectancy is expected to continue increasing globally, with the possibility of achieving higher levels for most countries.

🌍 Planning for population change involves addressing the challenges of an aging population, developing adequate care services, designing age-friendly cities, and mitigating the impacts of climate change and resource competition.

🌍 The global population growth is slowing down, leading to an aging population.

🏙️ Cities need to adapt to the changing demographic by designing transportation systems that are more local, human-centric, and accessible.
