Abstract
The most common urban residence pattern in large cities in China is high-rise housing. Due to high population density, space constraints, resource deficiency, and other weaknesses of high-density urban communities, a lack of access to adequate healthcare facilities is a major threat to not only the health of urban residents, but also the city itself. Taking three new communities in Beijing as examples, this paper analyzes the distribution pattern design mode, and future development trend of healthcare facilities on the basis of residents’ age structure, lifestyle, transportation pattern, residential area development mode, current healthcare facilities distribution and demand, as well as projected future demand. Finally, it proposes several ideas and recommendations for planning healthcare facilities.
This paper is funded jointly by Youth Fund of Humanities and Social Science Research Projects in Ministry of Education (13YJCZH080) and the Beijing Excellent Talent Training Project of Beijing Municipal Committee Organization Department (2013D005002000007).
