The City of Cartagena belongs to the World Network of Friendly Cities with the Elderly, a project that comes from the World Health Organization (WHO), in collaboration with INSERSO, with the aim of connecting cities, towns and organizations of all the world that share the vision of making their places places where to age with quality and dignity.

This project comprehensively addresses the aspects that affect the day to day of the cities, promoting active aging, improving their environments and services and incorporating this perspective in municipal planning.

Its methodology is based on the participation of the interested parties themselves, the elderly, taking into account their needs, perceptions and opinions throughout the process of analysis and improvement of the municipality.
