Abstract

With the pressing issue of urban aging, there is a growing awareness of the impact that living environments and housing models have on the aging process. The breakdown of traditional family structures and agricultural economies has led to an increasing number of elderly individuals living alone in cities, which has prompted the emergence of intergenerational co-living models. These models involve young and old people living together, sharing resources and building a sense of community. From this perspective, this paper explores how these new intergenerational co-living models, viewed through the lens of the sharing economy, can positively affect active aging by promoting effective resource allocation, lifestyle integration, and value alignment between generations. Furthermore, this paper discusses how these models can be used to further promote active aging in both international and domestic contexts.
