UrbAging is based on two case studies: the city of Lugano in the canton of Ticino (48'457
inhabitants in the 20,005 and 26 km2) and the city of Uster in the canton of Zurich (30'727
inhabitants in 2005 and 28 km2).
Uster has a demographic profile relatively "young", while that of Lugano is "old". In 2000, the
seniority index was 78.2 in Uster and 136.6 and in Lugano, compared with a national average of
95.3. The progression of aging is also very different between the two municipalities: Lugano in
late 2005 had an index of 157.3, while Uster of 84.1. The position of the two municipalities in the
urban system helps to explain these differences. Lugano is the main city in Ticino, the canton
with the highest rates of aging in Switzerland. Uster, is a suburban municipality, in the
metropolitan area of Zurich, has a greater presence of families (and then more young people of
school age) and, compared to Lugano, shows a better balance between age groups. In the town of
Lugano 37% of elderly live alone, in Uster they are 31%. In both cities, 80% of elderly living alone
are women.
