The basic intention of this study is to show that the research
findings in the field of restorative environments can be used in the
design of high-density housing to develop healthy living
environments. This study explores the possibility that providing
public, semi-public and private landscaped open spaces in and
around the dwelling units, can improve the living conditions in a
low-rise, high-density housing design. It is primarily concerned
with the relationship which people in the high-density settings
have with their outdoor environment and explores the possibilities
of design and management of the nearby natural area in ways that
are beneficial for people and appreciated by them. The study uses
the literature on restorative benefits of nature and housing to
develop criteria for the design and management of housings at
high densities and illustrates the significance and implementation
of the design criteria through comparative analysis of the existing
and the proposed housing design.
