Health Springs: A Community Facility to Promote Healthy Aging at High Rise Housing in Singapore

Objective

​This new study will test the general applicability of the Health Springs design proposal as a new public amenity for housing estates on different groups of the community to promote overall physical health, social interaction and intergenerational activity. Housing residents, as well as design and planning professionals will be among the groups to be approached. We seek to understand the views, opinions and attitudes on ageing related to coping with physiologic changes and thebuilt environment, the perceived benefits of the Health Springs concept, and alternative strategies between the end user groups and groups involved in housing planning.
