Synopsis

To what extent do territories exert influence on the management of old age? How can one qualify old-age experiences from territories? These are central questions in the discussions pointed out in this book. Based on the ethnography developed in four different territories of the municipality of Coimbra, the author, in a human and social interdisciplinary dialogue, presents the territories through a historical and geographical contextualization, while elaborating and deepening the debate on the relations established between elderly people and the territories.
