Tine Buffel is Professor of Sociology and Social Gerontology at the University of Manchester, UK, where she leads the Manchester Urban Ageing Research Group. Her research primarily focuses on issues of inequality, ageing in place, and underlying processes of spatial and social exclusion in later life. Much of her work has involved co-production methodologies, building on partnerships with older people, local authorities, and community organisations to study and address equity and justice issues in urban environments. She has published widely in the field of ageing and age-friendly cities, contributing a critical lens to the study of urban ageing and assisting the development of policies to improve the experience of ageing in cities. Chris Phillipson is Professor of Sociology and Social Gerontology in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Manchester, UK. He has led a number of research programmes in the field of ageing concerned with family and community life in old age, problems of poverty and social exclusion, social theory and ageing, and issues relating to urbanisation and migration. His theoretical work has focused on developing a critical gerontology which explores and challenges some of the dominant social and cultural assumptions made about ageing and ageing societies. He has published a number of books in the field of ageing and a variety of papers on age-friendly issues.
