4. Health Model Design Competition on Healthy City Design

The aim of this competition is to develop urban design models that enable individuals and communities to live in a healthy, peaceful, and fulfilling environment. Participants are expected to propose health models that serve this objective.

Healthy cities are living spaces designed to improve the physical environment, social relationships, and individual well-being, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life. In this context, participants are encouraged to design innovative models and urban improvements that take into account environmental, social, and economic factors to promote healthy living in cities. These models may include increasing the number of green spaces, offering healthy transportation options (such as walking paths and bicycle lanes), reducing environmental issues like air and noise pollution, utilizing sustainable energy sources, and ensuring access to healthy food and clean drinking water. Additionally, designs that promote social interaction and community solidarity, while addressing the needs of various age groups and populations, are also highly encouraged. The overarching goal is to improve public health by creating urban environments where people can live in safety, comfort, and well-being.

SAMPLE MODEL

Education Level: Associate / Bachelor’s / Graduate / Open
Theme: Healthy City Design

Title of the Health Model: Green Space-Integrated Smart City Model

Unique Value: This model proposes a design that integrates green spaces and smart city technologies to enhance both environmental sustainability and public health. It focuses on increasing accessible green spaces in every neighbourhood, utilizing renewable energy sources, and implementing smart transportation systems.

Model Methodology: The model involves the widespread integration of smart city technologies with sustainable energy solutions and expanded green areas throughout the city. Solar energy systems will be installed on all buildings, positioned to optimize natural light and air circulation. Environmentally friendly transportation options, such as electric vehicles and bicycle lanes, will also be incorporated.

Model Feasibility: The model is applicable through improvements to existing urban infrastructures and can be integrated into urban transformation projects to create healthier living environments in cities.

Widespread Impact: As the model is implemented across cities, it is expected to reduce environmental pollution, improve public health, and promote social equity—ultimately generating a positive impact on society as a whole.
