The current University and Healthcare imbalance within urban and rural Texas show great disadvantages to both people from minority and low-income backgrounds throughout the state. This proves that there is inequality within the state for higher education and healthcare.
With the creation of cities with a focus on health and education within the center of the cities, improved health and education levels throughout the population of Texan citizens will increase and balance the disparity between the different classes/races/minority considerations that currently exists.

Rural Texas Without Adequate Healthcare
Rural communities in Texas are generally less healthy than the rest of the state, Which tends to bring a higher experience of substance abuse, obesity, suicide and unintentional deaths. Even though 70% of Texas’ communities are rural, they have lost over half of their hospitals since 1960; 27 closed since 2010, leaving a shortage of primary care physicians. Nearly 75% of Texas’ counties identify as Healthy Professional Shortage Areas and/or Medically-Undeserved Areas. A prediction for the demand of primary care physicians shows it will increase by 67% by the year of 2030 which can lead to a deficit of 3,375 healthcare providers.

The image is a map of Victoria, Texas showing the distances between hospitals within the Victoria, Texas limits. It can be classified as an ideal rural town due to its abundance of colleges and hospitals within the town.
Target Areas
The diagram shows elevated green spaces as target areas to build cities with a focus on hospitals and college. They are targeted due to its limited resources and access to hospitals and colleges. These areas have a 30 minute or more travel time to be able to reach one of these services.

UnivercityUrban
The Univercity drawing shows a 15 minute city in which a person will be able to have an active lifestyle within the city.
The citizens will be able to take about a 15 minute walk to reach the university and access healthcare resources as well as other remaining resources that are offered within the city.
There would be limited parking spaces to be within the city to promote pedestrian movement.

Design Ideas and Rules
Univercity follows a spiral shape to create a city that revolves around a central point and allows for open space at the same time.
The shape of the spiral is parametically generated in Grasshopper as the result of the following rules:
1. Spirals are growing out of a starting point, which is the community hub in the form of a tower.
2. The minimum width of the spiral is 10 meters.
3. The spirals cannot overlap
4. The density of the spirals decreases as further the spirals go out.
5. The length of one part of the spiral is about a 15 minute walking distance so is the distance between the community hubs.
Three Towers Designs
The community hub designs include not only schools and hospitals, but also commercial use within the tower.

15 Minute Walkways
Univercity is connected undergrounnd throught trains. In the pedestrian zone, three stations are located from which you can enter the central towers as wel as the train system.

The homes within Univercity will also promote walkable movement within the house. It is done so with a multi- level home with circulation within the program of the house. There is also an entrance towards the walkway on the roof which connects all the homes with the city resources inside the city.

Existing Housing Typology
The existing housing typology within the New Texas Triangle does not promote a healthy and active life style. The plans are banal and do not give the opportunity to stay healthy within the home itself.
The existing housing typologies found are studio apartments, student housing, and single family housing.
New Housing Typology
Each unit was designed with movement in mind within. Because of that, the units are designed with split level designs, in which each level has the necessary living requirements but also with a different purpose within.
The housing typology allows the homeowner to be active and healthy in the home while doing everyday activities.
The levels go from the living areas, office, secondary bedroom, master bedroom, activity room, and an entrance to the roof walkway.
The movement between levels will help burn calories and keep the home owner healthy and happy. Each step burns 0.17 calories, multiple trips up and down the stairs will burn up to hundreds of calories without leaving the home.
The home provides an activity room where the home owner can exercise or connect through VR to the education services provided Univercity.

3. Different programs in the house will be moved to a different level.
4. Each split level will have a five foot separation in height from the level across the light well.
5. The house will have access to the roof walk and bike path connecting the houses.
