The Universitat Jaume I and Castellón City Council have signed a collaboration agreement for the development of the project "Castellón: friendly city with the elderly". The agreement signed by the rector Vicent Climent and the mayor Amparo Marco has allowed the UJI team of researchers headed by Antoni Caballer to make a diagnosis of the situation of the elderly in areas such as transportation, housing, respect and social inclusion, participation, communication, rmployment, health and social services and outdoor spaces and buildings.

The study is developed through a participatory methodology that allows the elderly to be involved in the analysis of their situation taking into account their needs, perceptions and opinions throughout the process. The rector of the UJI has stressed that this research "helps us to know how we are, to make that radiography so that the administration can then make the most appropriate policies in order to contribute to the development of a more livable and friendly city." Climent also stressed the importance of caring for a group that can be particularly vulnerable, such as the elderly.

In this same line, the mayor has stressed the importance of caring for the elderly. "After having spent their whole life working for a future for their children and for others, for this community and for the country, the public administration has to take care of them when they need it or just work to make them a little happier: this is governing," Marco stated.

The signed agreement allows the City Council and the Universitat Jaume I to jointly work in the collection and analysis of data to facilitate the diagnosis on the city in each of the areas of action defined in the Vancouver Protocol, a guide document facilitated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and reporting on the methodology to be used in the first phase of the friendly cities project. It also establishes collaboration in later phases of the project involving the accession of Castelló to the Network of Friendly Cities for the Elderly, promoted by the WHO in 2006, in order to incorporate the perspective of population aging in all areas of municipal action.
