ABSTRACT

The healthy cities concept offers valuable core values for public space landscape design. This study investigates the conceptual relationship between the healthy cities concept and public space landscapes, highlighting the functional positioning of landscapes as health carriers and capacity to promote physical, psychological, and social health. The study points out that current practices generally suffer from key issues such as weak ecological dimensions, insufficient behavioral support, lack of social cohesion stimulation, and inadequate inclusivity. Based on this, four core strategies are proposed: creating an ecologically healing environment, building a whole-age health behavior support system, strengthening social integration space design, and optimizing inclusive multi-sensory experiences. Landscape design needs to undergo a profound transformation from single greening to multi-dimensional health promotion, providing a practical path for creating a more resilient and vibrant healthy living environment.
