On Going Development
 PURPOSE
These urban design guidelines encourage best practices for designing Buildings within the Medical City. It guides the development of the
Medical City's connection between the surrounding streets and the public realm. By Integrating Innovative architectural solutions and
sustainable design, these guidelines aim to establish a Medical City that enhances people's engagement with their environment.
 VISION
Our Vision is to establish an Urban environment featuring well-designed buildings and spaces that serve their intended
purposes. The focus is on creating structures that are adaptable, safe, and accessible while supporting social diversity and
enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the community. Our Urban Guidelines and Architecture emphasize functionality and
inclusivity, contributing to a cohesive and welcoming Medical City.
the Medical City outlines a strategic intent that includes:

Improve Transport and Walkability

Safe and Well Designed Medical City
Living and Healing with Nature
Encouraging Community Engagement and Collaboration
 GUIDELINE STRUCTURE
This Medical City Urban Guide is a tool to provide a common reference for planning and design of a Medical Community.
It includes:

Key Values: The Important design values of The Medical Community

Design Elements: To provide guidance on potential ways to deliver the design values

Aaron Antonovsky’s health theory of Salutogenesis in

contrast to the pathogenic orientation of healthcare, suggests
that we shall look for wellness factor instead of risk factors.

“salutogenesis” has also been adopted in the medical fields for

preventing healhcare services delivery and healthcare
