ABOUT

This presentation shows the work which me a two team mates did within a one week brief. The subject matter was the organic city and finding ways we can use the city to create a more functional and effective system which would benefit cities around the world.

Our choice was to focus on Health and Transport and designed a new system which incorporates these two aspects into potentially a more productive form of healthcare in major cities.

We mind mapped, researched and developed a system to construct a final concept. Tram rails and hospital care would be used to create a range of different services such as:

1) Hospital trams - Uses Tram rails to avoid and gain priority over traffic
Transport patients much faster
Cut out sharp street corners and bumps in the road for smoother journeys

2) Medical campuses - Transport medical supplies more efficiently across cities to medical campuses
Allow more areas for immediate medical attention

3) Patient Monitors - Allow faster medical attention to patients under caution.

This system would aim to be implemented in medium sized cities already with a tram line such as Manchester (UK). With more success it could mean that new cities being built could implement this tram oriented healthcare and the economy could be laid out around it so that the systems healthcare can be given priority over other forms of transport in the city making the system much more efficient. In the future it could also evolve to be implemented in all cities around the world once it has been proven to work and would mean that a more thriving healthcare can me developed on a global scale creating better service for everyone.
