Transport policy has damaged public health
• climate change emissions
• local air pollution• obesity epidemic• road danger• difficulties of access• quality of life

Global climate change
Climate change is also a public health issue
Climate change killed 150,000 people in 2006,
according to the World Health Organisation*

“Besides the human costs of inactivity in terms of mortality, morbidity and quality of life, the report highlighted an estimate for the cost of inactivity in England to be £8.2 billion annually. This excludes the contribution of physical inactivity to overweight and obesity, whose overall cost might run to £6.6 - £7.4 billion per year according to recent estimates.”

Physical inactivity is a big problem

Environments condition behaviour
Modification of social, economic, and environmentalfactors may yield greater health dividends than individual lifestyle approaches. Indeed such interventions may be necessary before individual lifestyle approaches can be effective.

Restrain private motor traffic
“we recommend that the government develops and strengthens requirements for Local Transport Plans, such that by the end of 2008 they can include statutory targets for reduction in urban traffic”
Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution Report on the Urban Environment, 2007

Changes people can really make
“For most people, the easiest and most acceptable forms of physical activity are those that can be incorporated into everyday life. Examples include walking or cycling instead of travelling by car…..
At least five a week; the Chief Medical Officer’s report on physical activity, 2004
![Page 40: Healthy and Sustainable](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568c2be31a28abd8328ba8c2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
“Urban planners .…. need to integrate health and active living considerations fully into their work…… transport officials can provide a balanced transport system that enables residents to walk or cycle to shops, school and work.”
Promoting physical activity and active living in urban environments, World Health Organisation, 2006

Mobility….. or accessibility?

Mobility….. or accessibility?
• Transport policy has prioritised mobility : the ability to travel – sometimes long distances
![Page 43: Healthy and Sustainable](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568c2be31a28abd8328ba8c2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Mobility….. or accessibility?
• Accessibility : access to the goods and services people need
• the ideal is maximum accessibility with minimum mobility
![Page 44: Healthy and Sustainable](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020200/568c2be31a28abd8328ba8c2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Odense – Denmark’s “cycling city”• 185,000 citizens (typical Scandinavian city)• multi-year programme – main intervention 1999 – 2002• central government funding at €11 per capita per annum• main focus on cycling • very wide range of measures• physical measures – bus and cycle priority• promotion and marketing – many initiatives• monitoring

Odense – results (1999 – 2002)• cycling up 20%, still growing• car traffic down 15%• shift to shorter local journeys• increase in walking• public transport travel fell too • improved road safety• raised physical activity levels• significant reduction in cost of ill-health• Odense continues to innovate…..
