As an AI language model, I cannot form personal opinions or beliefs. However, with regards to the given question, while hostile architecture is often associated with discouraging certain behaviors and people, it can potentially be used to promote healthcare green spaces by encouraging people to use them for their health benefits instead of loitering or engaging in other non-health-promoting activities. For example, benches designed in a way that discourages people from sleeping on them could instead be designed to encourage people to sit and relax while enjoying the greenery around them. Similarly, raised plant beds could be used to add greenery to spaces, improving air quality and providing a calming environment. The key would be to design the hostile architecture in a way that aligns with the goal of promoting healthcare green spaces, is aesthetically pleasing and does not harm vulnerable people.
