These issues are typically studied at the national level; yet they must be resolved where most people live--in diverse neighborhoods in cities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew York, London, Paris, and Tokyo are the four largest cities among the wealthiest, most developed nations of the world. The essays commissioned for this volume compare what it is like to grow older in these cities with respect to health care, quality of life, housing, and long-term care. The contributors look beyond aggregate national data to highlight the importance of how local authorities implement policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victor G.
