Also noteworthy is the contribution of Graham D. Rowles, PhD. (1946- ), one of the most recognized social geographers worldwide, for his contributions to the geography of aging and environmental gerontology. Dr. Graham D. Rowles has been interested in the changing relationship between the elderly and their environment, first in rural areas (Appalachian Region) and later in urban areas, with special attention to the variety of residential and institutional settings. Along the same lines, the North American sociologist Eva Kahana") has focused on the conceptualization and operationalization of the transactions between the environment and the elderly person that determine the quality of life during aging. Kahana has developed the person-environment congruence model that recognizes both individual differences and the aspects of the physical and social environment that determine well-being in old age. Likewise, the German psychologist Hans-Werner Wahl") (1954- ) stands out for his research in the understanding of the physical-technological environments to age well, as well as adaptive processes in the context of chronic age-related functional loss. Also, architect Habib Chaudhury has stood out in the field of environmental gerontology for his contributions to the design of the physical environment for people with dementia, as well as urban planning friendly to active aging.

In Latin America and Spain, different researchers, such as Diego Sánchez-González, have shed light on deepening issues such as the built environment and the quality of life of the elderly, residential strategies for the maintenance of older people in communities, the climate and the environmental vulnerability that older people may be exposed to,[1]​ as well as place attachment, social exclusion, leisure, tourism and geriatric planning.[2]​ Likewise, Sánchez-González indicates that The longevity indicator is closely related to the physical environment in which people develop.[3]​[4]​ Age and zip code of residence may be more significant than the genetic code in relation to the risk of suffering and dying from the effects of climate and health crises[5]​.

It is expected that in the coming years the aging of the population worldwide will increase interest in environmental gerontology studies, due to the social, economic, cultural and environmental processes associated with this phenomenon in cities, mainly in developing countries.
