The knowledge community dedicated to designing a healthier society and a more sustainable planet
Healthcare facilities, hospitals, small cities in enclosed spaces; people working, people recovering; babies being born, people dying. Is it really possible to build a place that supports all these different activities? Mai-Britt Beldam explores.
21st century health district
Healthcare is undergoing significant transformations to address demographic, economic and regulatory changes. In the UK and the USA, the relationship between the medical campus and the city/towns is being reevaluated. This talk shows how health districts can: 1) set, track, evaluate and foster better planning tools for public health, 2) create a framework for a more connected, walkable and adaptable urban environment, and 3) build a platform for collaboration between health-service providers.
Innovation, health and social change
A common theme in science fiction is a world in which extraordinary technological advances have advantaged a few, while political instability, incompetence or greed have created a dystopian existence for the majority. This presentation asks: are health systems, in perception or reality, beginning to create such situations?
