Critical parameters for health and wellbeing in buildings and urban environment

The critical parameters for health and well-being in buildings and the urban environment are essential to create livable and sustainable spaces. Key factors include: Indoor Air Quality: Control of contaminants and adequate ventilation to prevent respiratory problems. Natural and Artificial Lighting: Design that maximizes natural light and efficient lighting systems to promote visual and mental well-being. Acoustic Design: Reduction of environmental noise and application of techniques for a quiet environment. Energy Efficiency: Design and technologies that reduce energy consumption and contribute to a more sustainable environment. Green Spaces and Recreation: Access to parks and green areas to promote physical activity and relaxation. Inclusive Design: Accessibility for all people, considering special needs and functional diversity. Sustainable Urban Planning: Promotion of sustainable mobility, with efficient public transport and options for walking or cycling. Waste Management: Recycling systems and adequate waste management to reduce environmental impacts. Bioclimatic Design: Use of natural characteristics of the environment to optimize the thermal efficiency of buildings. Housing Conditions: Access to drinking water, basic sanitation and safe housing to guarantee decent living conditions. Do we consider these parameters in urban design and planning today? Are we contributing to the creation of environments that promote the health and well-being of their inhabitants with the projects we are carrying out?
