Abstract

Communities, as the smallest units of the urban ecosystem, play a critical role in shaping residents’ daily lives, with their landscape features greatly influencing the quality of life. Along with the pursuit of healthy cities, the focus of community landscape design has shifted from mere aesthetics to the healing potential of these spaces. Healing landscapes alleviate physical and mental stress and enhance the overall quality of public spaces within communities. In this study, we integrate principles from environmental psychology and healing garden design to propose strategies for the landscape renewal of aging communities. Interviews are conducted as part of the design and redevelopment process for the healing landscape of the Guanxi Community in Wuhan.
