and

autonomy

From 1 to 100, we walk.

Being mobile on foot in places where everyday needs and services are accessible on foot or by public transport means you can remain independent as you age.

Here are the keys to helping maintaining independence:

Moving regularly: As we age, getting enough exercise becomes a crucial factor in our health and well-being.

Meeting new people: Taking walks to a park or a shop in your neighborhood generates encounters and helps you connect with your surroundings.

Having the right environment: To enable the elderly to get around on foot, obstacle-free routes with benches and public spaces are essential.
