Healthy City Community Space-Oriented Structural Planning and Management Optimization under COVID-19

Area of Science:

• Urban Planning
• Public Health
• Environmental Sustainability

Background:

• The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for resilient urban environments and effective Healthy City Construction (HCC).
• Optimizing urban governance is crucial for adapting community spaces to public health challenges.
• Existing urban planning lacks specific frameworks for pandemic-era community health and well-being.

Approach:

• A literature review established the theoretical basis and historical development of healthy cities.
• A novel HCC-oriented community space structure was proposed and designed.
• Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and questionnaire surveys were employed to evaluate the proposed structure's effectiveness.

Key Points:

• The proposed community space structure significantly improved the daily activity scores for patients with respiratory diseases (from 2312 to 2715).
• The structure enhanced the physical self-control abilities of chronic patients, leading to reduced pain.
• Resident service quality and overall community health security coverage were positively impacted.

Conclusions:

• The developed HCC model effectively optimizes urban community spaces for improved public health outcomes.
• The research provides a replicable framework for creating people-oriented, sustainable urban living environments.
• Implementing the proposed structure strengthens the urban 'immune system' and promotes environmental regeneration.
