The link between the built environment and human behavior has long been of interest to the
field of urban planning, but direct assessments of the links between the built environment …

An increasing body of evidence suggests that moderate forms of physical activity (such as
walking and bicycling), when engaged in regularly, can have important beneficial effects on …

This review discusses how urban form affects public health, specifically through the ways in
which the built environment encourages or discourages physical activity levels. The …

This article reviews literature fromthe health field investigating the characteristics of
environments that support or hinder physical activity. This literature shows that physical …

Research in transportation, urban design, and planning has examined associations
between physical environment variables and individuals' walking and cycling for transport …

The purpose of this report is to provide a theoretical framework for discussion and to review
and evaluate empirical evidence regarding the relationship between the built environment …

Background: Research on physical activity and the physical environment is at the correlates
stage, so it is premature to attribute causal effects. This paper provides a conceptual …

The urban environment and modes of transport are increasingly being linked to physical
activity participation and population health outcomes. Much of the research has been based …

Increases in per capita vehicle usage and associated emissions have spawned an
increased examination of the ways in which our communities and regions are developing …

The built environment may be responsible for making nonmotorized transportation
inconvenient, resulting in declines in physical activity. However, few studies have assessed …
