HONORABLE MENTION
STUDENT
Neeti Menon and Jessica Stark, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
Research shows that only half of the U.S. population engages in enough
physical activity to prevent or reduce chronic disease, and according to the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, about 28 percent adults suffer from
mental health issues due to social isolation. So when Neeti Menon and Jessica Stark
were given the opportunity to understand and unveil the potential of an unused
62-acre site in the heart of Chicago, they conceived Chicago's Health Edge: a health
improvement district whose aim is to contribute to the wellbeing of Chicagoans,
and imbue the site with culture and sense of place, making it into the 78th
neighborhood in the city.
"Through our extensive investigation into healthcare and preventative
measures, the program presents opportunities to establish a forum for positive
healthcare pursuit, while celebrating several different cultures and backgrounds
in a segregated Chicago," says Menon, who employed a macro-level understanding
of evidence-based design as part of the team's design approach.
Aspiring to offer a new way of living in Chicago, the project encourages
walkability and activity throughout the year for all age groups. It also aims to
provide regular access to healthcare and opportunities for learning and education
for all ages, and promote social wellbeing. The Discovery Partners Institute
(DPI)-a research organization that studies and conducts research on wellbeing
and health-was part of the developer's current plan for the site. "While studying
feasibility of the program, we realized the impact that the DPI can have and the
contribution it can make to our site and the city, in terms of analysis of and access
to health data," says Menon. "Hence, the DPI became an important part of our
project that would help achieve our idea of the site being a living lab that feeds
data to the DPI and, in exchange, provides subsidized facilities for the city."
A Health Performance Center (HPC) provides traditional healthcare delivery
as well as alternative non-western healthcare, with the aim to promote regular
health checkups. Hydroponic and aquaponic farms are located on the site to ensure
availability of healthy food, while cultural and learning centers facilitate intercultural
and intergenerational exchange.
