The concept is underpinned by four pillars; connectivity, with easy access to healthy options for movement; using smart technology to help people monitor, improve and make decisions about their health; weaving nature throughout a sustainable community; and incorporating complementary land uses and encouraging collaboration between public and private sector to drive economic prosperity.
One of the key features of the project is to develop a “Living Lab” within a showcase building in the early phases. This will anchor the Ideas District and act as a testbed for new technology related to smart living and healthcare
