'In this volume the editors have compiled some of the most important research on the housing situation of older people in the Western Asia-Pacific region. In particular, the term ageing in place is discussed, a condition much favoured by governments across the globe. With its focus on population ageing and the built environment in this geographical region the book is a most welcome contribution to the literature in this field of research.' -- Marianne Abramsson, Stockholm University, Sweden 'Tackling an important and growing challenge for countries throughout the world Ageing in Place provides a much-needed multi-country dialogue on ageing with dignity. Chapters grounded in empirical work and project examples investigate how China, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand are addressing the crucial connections between older people, their homes, and quality of life. This is a valuable and timely book.' -- Ann Forsyth, Harvard University, US
