Health Center

Opening context:
Life Cycle

Conflict

More than 90 per cent of the people walking about in an ordinary neighborhood are unhealthy, judged by the simple biological criteria. This ill heath cannot be cured by hospitals or medicine.

Resolution

Gradually develop a network of small health centers, perhaps one per community of 7000, across the city; each equipped to treat everyday disease — both mental and physical, in children and adults — but organised essentially around a functional emphasis on those recreational and educational activities which help keep people in good health, like swimming and dancing.
