Abstract
As the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have become popular in guiding policy and program planning, we critically examine its role in addressing underlying systemic challenges when it comes to ensuring the health and wellbeing of vulnerable people in conjunction with the social determinants of health framework. In addressing the incongruencies in sustainable development and public health theory with practice, we turn to look at design approaches – in particular, the design of circular systems (circular systems design) in the circular economy – to reconcile the gap in theory and practice through a systems lens. Businesses and the built environment industry have demonstrated a growing interest around circular economy concepts in favour of reducing and reusing resources through designing out waste; we expand this interest to consider circular systems in health community design from the built and physical to socioeconomic environments. The case for circular systems in the social and economic realms to address health, wellbeing, and the healthcare industry has been less studied. Through examining the concepts behind the development of eco-community projects, especially those emphasizing elements of health and care, we consider a new paradigm for a wholes system approach in the design of healthcare facilities to health and care services provision.
