Focus Group Discussions are conducted to yield a more qualitative and in-depth perspective about the ageing community and their everyday urban spaces. It is used to explore the range of views and feelings that cannot be captured in the more quantitative, closed-ended questionnaire of the survey discussed in Chap. 1. The discussions shared the participants' perspectives on their housing and neighbourhood, amenities and transportation, recreational and social spaces as well as their individuality and community connection as they grow older. Their views revealed some of the key desired characteristics of age-friendly house and neighbourhoods.
