Summary/Abstract: Presented article addresses the issue of adequacy of actions taken in the urban space of Krakow in relation to the specific needs of elderly citizens. Krakow is considered as heterogeneous space in terms of perceiving and responding to the needs of this group of inhabitants. The analysis is organized by the spheres of cultural, educational, sports, and recreational activities that are offered by commercial and non-profit institutions. The point of reference is the theory of productive ageing (Bass, Caro 2001) and age friendly city (World Health Organization, 2007).
