The document discusses the relationship between hospitals and cities using two case studies:
1) Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, UK which started in 1820 and has expanded over time to become integrated with the city through connections, public spaces, and a collegiate structure.
2) Hamad Bin Khalifa Medical City in Doha, Qatar which was planned as a central urban health district from the beginning with a pedestrian-focused public realm and integration of historic buildings to connect it to the surrounding city.
The document argues that hospitals should be considered as part of the city through urban design that promotes accessibility and public life.
