Exploring the impact of the built environment on health and health behaviour outcomes and the translation of evidence into policy and practice

在全球范围内，人们越来越关注不活动和肥胖水平上升对健康、社会、环境和经济的影响，再加上预计的人口增长、气候变化、石油供应下降和燃料价格上涨。创造有利于步行、骑自行车和交通的环境，鼓励替代交通形式是一个优先事项。与政策制定者合作，这项研究旨在影响城市规划政策，以创造健康，可持续的社区。

Globally there is growing concern about the health, social, environmental, and economic impacts of rising levels of inactivity and obesity, coupled with projected population growth, climate change, declining oil supplies and rising fuel prices. Creating pedestrian-, cycling- and transit-friendly environments and encouraging alternative forms of transport is a priority. Working with policy-makers, this research aims to influence urban planning policy to create healthy, sustainable communities.
