Abstract
The foundation of this project was established against the backdrop of the global decline in birth rates, a recurring topic of discussion in today’s news landscape. In the course of my research, it became evident that nations worldwide are grappling with the enduring economic implications of this decline. Many countries are now actively offering incentives and heightened support to birthing individuals, seeking to address this issue. While the multifaceted societal consequences of this matter are intricate, there is a clear need for a solution that bolsters young families, particularly within the context of the United States, during the pivotal phase of integrating children into their households.
My objective is to create a tangible environment that caters to contemporary parents. This environment will provide access not only to essential healthcare services but also to “non-essential” amenities such as physical therapy, education, lactation support, and a childcare system that is not only more accessible but also family-centered. This endeavor aims to foster a holistic space that empowers modern parents to navigate the multifarious challenges they face while raising children.
