Abstract
This practicum addresses the issue of ageing in place for rural elderly people in China. It examines how landscape architects can create age-friendly communities for rural elders through the re-design of Shang Tun Village in northern Fujian province. The design process aimed to provide comfortable environments, age-friendly facilities, social participation, and self-confidence for the elderly to help them age in place actively. The practicum provides design insights for developing age-friendly communities in rural China.
