Older adults’ active mobility choices and their specific preferences and needs for their living environment: an intersectional approach

Our findings highlight the diverse mobility patterns of older adults and their varying environmental preferences and needs. To promote active mobility, urban planning must recognize this heterogeneity and implement tailored, demand-oriented solutions. We demonstrate that a quantitative intersectional approach is a valuable addition to qualitative research for analyzing the combined effects of social identities and living conditions. Future studies should increasingly adopt an intersectional perspective to identify unique experiences of disadvantage and privilege.
