An expansive, health-focused district is planned around the site of Mater Private Hospital Springfield in Brisbane, Australia, according to an article on the Arch Daily website.
Already a healthcare hub containing the hospital, Aveo Springfield Retirement Village and a hotel, the proposed development would expand the “health city” to include a hospital expansion, medical offices, residential and retail space, as well as facilities for wellness, education, research, hospitality, aged care and start-up businesses.
Springfield Central Health City will be designed to promote wellness by providing opportunities for movement, incorporating natural elements for sustainability and fostering connections between the separate groups that will use the space, the article said.
The project will eventually include housing for over 2,500 seniors in apartment-style living.
