SHAPING A VERTICAL COMMON NATURE—MIXED-USED TOWER FOR HENGQIN

ABSTRACT

TRADITIONAL HEALTHCARE TYPICALLY FOCUSES ON THE TREATMENT OF ILLNESS AND MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS (TAHIRU, 2021). HOWEVER, NEW GENERATIONS OF HEALTH CENTERS ARE MOVING BEYOND THIS TRADITIONAL MODEL. NOWADAYS, IT HAS SHIFTED TO PRIORITIZING PREVENTIVE CARE, SUCH AS WELLNESS PROGRAMS, FITNESS CLASSES, MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SERVICES AND LEISURE ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFESTYLES (MARIZAHN, 2020). HENCE, THIS RESEARCH FOCUSES ON EXPLORING HOW AN INTEGRATED HEALTH CENTER APPROACH COULD ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES OF YOUTH IN MACAO.
