With the rapid rise of an aging population in Japan, good livable cities require easy access to healthcare and well-being. Here, we see a free clinic in the main shopping arcade of Kumamoto, a large urban hub on the southern island of Kyushu. An open health service encourages folks to come into the city’s center rather than stay homebound, ensuring both careful care of citizens and an active urban life.
