Abstract: The global population is aging and older adults overwhelmingly wish to age in place. A positive neighbourhood context is crucial for the wellbeing of older adults. The ability to age in place is predicated on mobility; mobility is the capacity to move oneself around the home and community using a variety of modes. Segments of the population have been entirely overlooked within the mobility and built environment literature; we know surprisingly little about foreign-born older adults (FBOAs).
