Resumen
This paper reflects the ageing process as a normal and universal transformation, their physical and cognitive limitations when faced with a mobility system that is not adapted to the reality of the elders and which facts must be considered in a possible restructuring of the system in order to promote the quality of life of the elderly, access to goods, opportunities and social groups providing them with the necessary empowerment to independently fulfil their needs. Improve mobility is not just a set-directive, but rather a process of multidisciplinary collaboration and coordination with other urban policies and projects, such as health, infrastructure and land use, so that it serves the objectives and needs of the population, promote security for all citizens, reflect community values, and support the activities already under development and foster community sustainability. The objectives described, will have a positive impact on economic vitality, stimulates the development of land use, and promotes a healthier lifestyle and improved interconnectivity between activities. For an approach to these issues, we need to get a better understanding about the individual needs on the public space, the transportation system in social and political context. To satisfy elderly mobility a strategy is needed covering political, educational initiatives towards empowered mobility for elderly people.
