This study analyzes ageing policies in T\u00fcrkiye from the perspective of urban gerontology within a multi-level governance framework. Employing qualitative document analysis, it examines national policy documents and the 2025\u20132029 strategic plans of 30 metropolitan municipalities, grounded in the core components of urban gerontology as well as the paradigms of ageing in place and age-friendly cities. Findings reveal that, while both national and local policy documents rhetorically incorporate key elements of urban gerontology, local policies primarily focus on traditional care services and social assistance. Dimensions such as active ageing, participatory governance and spatial justice remain secondary due to institutional capacity constraints and the lack of data-driven planning. In line with the urban gerontology approach, the study offers policy recommendations to institutionalize gerontological expertise within local administrations and activate multi-level governance mechanisms to build age-friendly urban ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; font-size: 15px;\"><strong>Keywords: <\/strong> Urban gerontology, Ageing policies, Multi-level governance, Ageing in place, Age-friendly cities<\/p>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">\u00c7i\u011fdem Tu\u011fa\u00e7<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.29224\/insanveinsan.1910503\">DOI: 10.29224\/insanveinsan.1910503<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><a title=\"Issue 42, Yaz 2026\" href=\"\/en\/sayi-42-yaz-2026\/\">Issue 42, Yaz 2026<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-119 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pdf-e1407190133528.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\">Tam metin \/ Full text<br \/>\n(Turkish)<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 230px;\">\n<span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/izleme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 40px;\">[post-views]<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 20px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width:0\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/indirme-icon.png\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 145px;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"><div class=\"sdm_download_count\"><span class=\"sdm_count_number\">10<\/span><span class=\"sdm_count_string\"> Downloads<\/span><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n<p><br style=\"clear: left;\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sdm_download_button_box_default\"><div class=\"sdm_download_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insanveinsan.org\/?sdm_process_download=1&download_id=5824\" class=\"sdm_download grey\" title=\"42-2 \u00c7i\u011fdem Tu\u011fa\u00e7\" target=&quot;_blank&quot;>Download Now!<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<table bgcolor=\"transparent\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: 1px dashed gray;\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: none; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'minion pro', arial, sans-serif;\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/i.creativecommons.org\/l\/by-nc\/4.0\/80x15.png\" alt=\"Creative Commons License\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThis work is licensed under a <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/\" rel=\"license\">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c7i\u011fdem Tu\u011fa\u00e7 Abstract: The rapid demographic ageing in T\u00fcrkiye necessitates a holistic re-evaluation of aging policies through the lens of urban planning, governance, and social policy.
