Focus Issue

By examining overlaps between "Chronic disease condition" and "food vulnerable neighborhood", we determine which neighborhood in Toronto needs improvement the most. Henceforth, Scarborough East, which has existing challenges in food access and health concerns, is the selected design action zone for the health city.

In comparison to the average health problem with the city of Toronto, each of the disease rates is higher than the city's average rates. Based on the research, two major diseases on site are diabetes and high blood pressure. Both of the diseases imply insufficient access to healthy food and exercises.

The Scarborough health city is dedicated to prompt a healthy living style through increasing pedestrian safe environments and this encourages walking and cycling on daily movement. The network of the LRT stations, Kennedy station, and Warden Station creates an active and mobile mixed use district with three main themes. The three main themes along the road are the Food carnival district, food production zone, and urban agriculture trail.
