This chapter starts from an overview of HKCSS’s innovative strategies regarding promoting age-friendly Hong Kong. Then, a qualitative study using focus group discussion on eight domains of age-friendly features is described. Key stakeholders were invited to discuss their views of what has been achieved and what can be done better in each of the age-friendly domains. Content analyses revealed themes on common concerns and suggestions. At last, the authors discuss age-friendly conceptualization in a Chinese context and make four recommendations for future direction of the age-friendly movement in Hong Kong.
