DESIGN FOR HEALTH PROMOTION
In 1997, the World Health Organization identified the
health “arena”,
including priority settings and frequently used spaces such as;
 workplace,
 schools,
 hospitals,
 correctional institutions,
 commercial offices,
 public spaces within our towns and cities,
 and indeed our homes,
should be at the centre of health promotion activities in the 21st century.
 During the 66th meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations in
September 2011 the global challenges of non –communicable disease was
discussed for the first time.
 Academy believes strongly that quality of built environment could reduce the
causes of life style related diseases!
