ABSTRACT
As testified by a number of the contributing chapters to this text, the intertwinement of the older adult life course and the geographic concept of place is multifaceted and multilevel. Multifaceted, in terms of the variety of different ways that such connections occur over the lifetime of an older person. Multilevel, in terms of the scalar contexts, such as a person’s home, local places, and national and global settings that it can implicate. It is this intertwinement that renders questions around what makes a place exclusionary or indeed inclusionary 1 in later life so difficult to answer.
