The rapid global trend of ageing is forcing all aspects of society to systematically transition to offer a more inclusive and healthy old life for elderly people. While the need for transition has been agreed upon at many levels, the question of how to actually make a systematic transition is still a proposition that needs to be discussed in depth, particularly in the field of design. Based on the workshop “Transition Design – Age-Friendly Community Centres 2050” held in Prague in 2022, this paper explores the fears, desires, and visions of Prague residents for their local community and environment, and how a more sustainable future for older people and stakeholders can be achieved from a design perspective, demonstrating the need for citizen participation in community development and democratic decision-making and providing a reference for promoting and guiding public participation in the systematic transition to social and environmental sustainability.
