| Sumario: | The study reflects on the strategies of adaptation to the urban environments in aging, with allusions to Latin America.

Maladjustment is determined by personal abilities (social exclusion, disability and dependency) and, mainly, urban physical-social problems. Likewise, environmental adaptation strategies for active aging in the place are proposed from the evaluation of personal assets, as well as the attributes and functions of the urban environment. |
