有些人将其定义为 第三个健康时代, we must radically rethink our approach to sustaining our healthcare system. This is particularly acute given that chronic and lifestyle related diseases are on the rise, healthcare services are struggling to keep up with the consequent accelerating demand.
NHS健康新城, 蓝色区域, WELL建筑标准, Fitwell are all reflections of an increased consciousness towards establishing 长久而充实的生活方式 through a preventative contributory approach that supports health. This supports the World Health Organisation definition of health as, 完整的物理, 心理和社会健康, not merely negatively as the absence of disease or infirmity’.
从治疗到预防的转变, along with an increased awareness of our personal contribution to wellbeing, provides the public and private sectors with the opportunity to implement progressive and innovative ideas that will not only impact citizen wellbeing, 但是帮助进化成 健康的社区 that live, work and play in very different places than we see today in many of our cities.
的重点 健康的社区 will be ‘people’, since the ultimate objective must be to achieve a quality of life that 健康的地方 bring, rather than simply the achievement of architectural quality. As a consequence, healthy people in 健康的社区 will be;
- 活跃的 ——铭记在心, 身体与精神, encouraging physical and mental exercise – not just at a designated time or place but throughout our everyday routines
- 持续的 – through the air, food, water and light healthy bodies demand. Healthy people also need to be economically sustained through rewarding employment
- 独立的 – to age in place and remain connected to our friends and family, empowered to make decisions in the care we receive and the choice facing our communities.
- 支持 ——通过保健和社会保健, 教育和培训, multi-cultural spiritual support and financial services.
支持健康社区中的健康人群, we must consider and challenge the types of spaces that are created. These spaces should encourage more urban developments that are permeable and highly accessible. The should deliver true mixed use options that encourage and offer employment, whilst providing homes for intergenerational residents through mixed tenure offers. When coupled with high quality permeable public realm, this can help support the creation of a healthy character that is generous in supporting residents and importantly its neighbours.
我们作为设计师的考验, 规划者, 景观建筑师, systems designers and more is to challenge the status quo, communicating innovative ideas about how to create an ultrapractical, generous and open city that has the public interest at its heart.
