The development combines "lush parklands, new cultural buildings and a meandering [mile-long] sky deck." By incorporating all these features within its proposal, the architectural practice seeks to connect the community and build a tranquil environment for city dwellers and travelers. The award-winning business district masterplan aims to cater to a younger crowd. While the sky deck is dubbed a "boulevard in the sky" and will make for mindful walks, the elevated architectural structure will also serve as a connection between the nearby buildings. In addition, the path will feature an uninterrupted cycling and jogging lane that will surely motivate residents to be active, even if it is in a hectic urban environment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wellness-centric Business Districts:** Architectural firms can explore creating business district masterplans that promote wellness and connectivity within the community. - **Elevated Architectural Structures:** As cities and communities become more dense, architects and developers can incorporate elevated structures such as sky decks to promote physical activity and mobility within the city. - **Integrated Cycling and Jogging Lanes:** Developers and city planners can incorporate uninterrupted cycling and jogging lanes to promote a healthier lifestyle among city dwellers and travelers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Architects can explore the use of elevated structures and parklands to promote wellness and connectivity within communities. - **Real Estate Development:** Developers can prioritize the integration of cycling and jogging lanes in their projects to promote a healthier lifestyle among residents and attract potential buyers. - **Urban Planning:** City planners can explore the use of business district masterplans that prioritize green spaces and elevated structures to promote physical activity and a more peaceful urban environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Futuristic Work Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-zone.md) - [Terraced Urban Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-park-sai-sha.md) - [Tranquil Island Wellness Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanya-wellness-retreat.md) - [Wellness-Focused Lifestyle Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-club.md) - [Therapeutic Architecture Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartland-whole-health-institute.md) - [Urban Roofscape Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/central-yards.md) - [Spine-Based Central Design Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hangzhou-center.md) - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [Balanced Retail Atmosphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capitamall-skyview.md)
