How do low-carbon city policies shape older adults health? Evidence from environmental and mobility pathways in China
This study concludes that the LCCP significantly enhanced older adults health by improving environmental quality and travel behavior. The health effects are stronger for groups with better spatial accessibility and are partially realized through household perceptions and increased non-motorized travel. The results emphasize the importance of integrating environmental policies with age-friendly planning in urban governance to promote healthy aging.
