| dc.description.abstract | A report by (WHO) has enumerated that mental disorders account for nearly 12% of the global burden of disease. Developing countries are likely to see a disproportionately large increase in the burden attributable to mental disorders in the coming decades. (World Health Organization, 2001) China's cities have experienced rapid urbanization over the past three decades, while the aging of the population has become increasingly serious. About 35% of the population is expected to reach the age of 60 or older by 2050, a phenomenon that is particularly evident in large cities like Shanghai. However, the infrastructure in China's cities is not yet optimally prepared for this large elderly population and still faces many difficulties in terms of social wellbeing. Due to these factors, the improvement of the quality of life and subjective well-being, and help with the psychological pressure of the elderly in China's cities is a very important future issue. These expressions suggest the need for a restorative environment within their communities, where old people can find themselves and achieve the desired recovery. Through the research and mapping, several workers' communities have been highlighted, which become the target sites. Within these sites, there are 3 representative displacement communities. These include Caoyang New Village, Kongjiang New Village, Yanji New Village and Changbai New Village. These communities were set up by the Chinese government in 1952 as a new type of worker housing to solve the housing problem of over 100,000 workers, and they also serve as a record of Relocation for the urbanization, containing a large population of current elderly people in Shanghai. | en_US |
