The ageing in place agenda emphasises the importance of supporting older adults to age in their communities surrounded by the personal resources to age well. In exploring the relationship between older people and their environment, the concept of place insideness is seen as central to constructing feelings of identity, belonging and attachment in old age. Yet there has been little research exploring how older adults experience place insideness across different urban, social and cultural contexts which is an impediment to identifying effective interventions for age-friendly cities and communities. This article explores how place insideness is experienced amongst older adults across India, Brazil and the United Kingdom. The article presents qualitative findings from 294 semi-structured interviews collected across 9 cities and 27 neighbourhoods. The findings reveal that older adults cultivate their sense of place insideness in old age through dimensions of physical insideness (i.e., environmental competence in navigating and engaging in the community), social insideness (i.e., knowing others) and autobiographical insideness (i.e., shared place histories). In drawing on older people’s understanding of their communities, this article explores the opportunities and challenges in developing a sense of place insideness to support ageing well. We identify implications for policy and practice in terms of how we can better design urban environments as age-friendly communities which support a greater sense of place for older people.

就地老龄化议程强调了支持老年人在其个人资源包围的社区中老龄化的重要性。在探索老年人与其环境之间的关系时，场所内部的概念被视为构建老年人的认同感，归属感和依恋感的核心。然而，很少有研究探索老年人如何在不同的城市，社会和文化背景下体验场所内在性，这阻碍了为年龄友好型城市和社区确定有效干预措施的障碍。本文探讨了印度，巴西和英国的老年人如何体验场所内在性。本文介绍了在9个城市和27个社区中进行的294次半结构化访谈的定性结果。研究结果表明，老年人通过身体上的内在感（即，在社区中参与和参与社区活动的环境能力），社会上的内在感（即认识其他人）和自传式内在的感官（即共享的场所）来培养老年人的场所内在感。历史）。在借鉴老年人对社区的理解时，本文探讨了发展场所内部感以良好地支持老年人的机会和挑战。我们从如何更好地将城市环境设计为适合老年人居住的社区的角度，确定对政策和实践的意义。在社区中的导航和参与的环境能力），社会内部（即认识其他人）和自传内部（即共享场所的历史）。在借鉴老年人对社区的理解时，本文探讨了发展场所内部感以良好地支持老年人的机会和挑战。我们从如何更好地将城市环境设计为适合老年人居住的社区的角度，确定对政策和实践的意义。在社区中的导航和参与的环境能力），社会内部（即认识其他人）和自传内部（即共享场所的历史）。在借鉴老年人对社区的理解时，本文探讨了发展场所内部感以良好地支持老年人的机会和挑战。我们从如何更好地将城市环境设计为适合老年人居住的社区的角度，确定对政策和实践的意义。本文探讨了发展场所内部感以很好地支持衰老的机会和挑战。我们从如何更好地将城市环境设计为适合老年人居住的社区的角度，确定对政策和实践的意义。本文探讨了发展场所内部感以很好地支持衰老的机会和挑战。我们从如何更好地将城市环境设计为适合老年人居住的社区的角度，确定对政策和实践的意义。
