Abstract

In recent years, in the context of China’s aging population, the elderly have also put forward new living demands for the street space where they live. This article takes Yulin Street, Wuhou District, Chengdu City as an example. From an age-friendly perspective, this article combines the five levels of needs classified under Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory (i.e., physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-actualization needs). ), discusses the current situation and existing problems of Yulin streets and the actual needs of the elderly living in street space, and then proposes corresponding aging-friendly transformation strategies from five levels of needs, in order to provide other research on age-friendly urban streets. Space scholars provide references.
