Abstract

Some thoughts are made on the personal and social meaning of old age, supported on a broad bibliography on the subject, with special emphasis on problems raised by the modern urban way of life which affect this age group. The focus of the analysis made in the paper, lies in the development of a kind of society that desplaces aged people, and in the building up of a kind of city that ignores them, thus intensifying problems in this last stage of the lifespan.
