Improving health through policies that promote active travel: a review of evidence to support integrated health impact assessment
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Substantial policy changes to control obesity, limit chronic disease, and reduce air pollution emissions, including greenhouse gasses, have been recommended. Transportation and planning policies that promote active travel by walking and cycling can contribute to these goals, potentially yielding further co-benefits. Little is known, however, about the interconnections among effects of policies considered, including potential unintended consequences.
