A city that takes care of its citizens must be open and safe, have public spaces and buildings that facilitate relationships between people and have mobility and housing adapted to the different needs of the life cycle. Incorporating care into municipal policies is a challenge for local governments. 

Providing local services to meet the needs of citizens and easy and inclusive access to basic services is necessary to guarantee a minimum quality of life. 

This encompasses supplies, equipment, job opportunities, the right to socialization and participation in community life. This issue is reflected on in this booklet, emphasizing local services, health and end-of-life processes. Without forgetting an ethical approach focused on caring for people. It is based on the project developed by the Mémora Foundation "The City that Cares", and the seminar carried out in collaboration between this entity, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and the Víctor Grífols i Lucas Foundation.
