ABSTRACT
The rapidly increasing aging population combined with a lack of aged care facilities in Korea has led to the recent development of silver towns. They comprise high-rise apartment units that are conceived, designed and marketed as smart living environments for the elderly. This paper offers a preliminary analysis from our research on how silver towns integrated with smart technologies are received from the perspectives of elderly residents.
