Healthy Sustainable Community

A healthy sustainable community (HSC) is defined as a community that is both environmentally
and socially responsible. What the WHO defines as a healthy sustainable society includes: a
clean, safe and secure environment; food, water, and shelter; access to a high-quality, affordable
healthcare system; an economically varied and vibrant economy. It was my in the same way that
a healthy and sustainable community revolved around human purposes, it was characterized by
the people who lived there & support the general well-being of every person who would live in
it, beyond WHO's definition. Healthy, sustainable housing, green space to encourage physical
activity and human interaction, a variety of food options and health-care resources, and a
physical and social link with nearby neighborhood contexts were all part of the goal. For my
analysis, in the end, I decided to pick public housing. Because its occupants are particularly
vulnerable to experiencing glaring health disparities, and the same criteria could then be applied
to other neighborhoods. The built environment factors (BEFs) that affect human health were re-
evaluated in public housing communities and grouped into a set of twelve metrics that are
necessary for a healthy, sustainable community. After defining each of the factors, I explained
how each of the parameters, including life safety measures, would favorably impact health
(Harvey, 2012).

 Circulation comprises the availability of spaces for vehicles to park, walkways for
pedestrians to and from the neighborhood's residential buildings, and paths large enough
for bicycles to travel.
 Access to public transportation, a variety of healthy food alternatives, and health-care
facilities are just some of the ways in which a site can be connected to the city's fabric
and stimulate social engagement.
 Sustainable methods and innovative design will be used to Units that are properly
insulated, well-oriented, employ suitable quantities of glazing (windows), contain passive
systems for ventilation, house a comfortable spatial arrangement that elicits a tactile
reaction, and have clearly defined public/private spaces should be designed to be visually
appealing. By "infrastructure," we meant things like well-lit highways with traffic
calming measures and sidewalks with fewer junctions with moving vehicles there must
be (sterile and clean drinking water and electricity, as well as reliable communications).

,  Land Use and Location in order to avoid toxic facilities, brownfields, or landfills, the
community would need to be placed in an area that's suitable for human habitation.
 Green space is created in an effort to promote social interaction and physical activity
among people; it is also utilized to control density and to support a thriving ecology.
 Space that is unique to residents and socially acceptable to those residents. Neighborhood
Space (Hester, 1984).
 Visitors are permitted to use the community's designated public space, which has been
properly delineated.
 For the residents of the neighborhood, Private Space clearly designated their own private
space.
 An amenity for inhabitants to enjoy is not only However, it's not a geometrical center, but
rather an architectural focal point.
 In order to create a beautiful built environment, Aesthetic Appeal uses many building
methods and materials, including landscaping, to achieve this goal.
 As a means to define the community boundaries and manage land use planning, usage of
natural barriers (trees, water forms, etc.)
