  Caring for the elderly, aging-in-place, and enabling the elderly to maintain
a good life continue to be topics of increasing importance, especially in
countries with a higher percentage of older people, as people live longer, and
care-giving costs rise. This position paper proposes the concept of urban
agetech, where agetech services beyond the home can be an integral part of a
modern ageing-friendly city, and where support for the elderly, where needed,
in the form of automated systems (e.g., robots and automated vehicles) would be
a normal city function/service, akin to the rather commonplace public transport
services today.
