摘要: The relationship between public health, urban forms and transportation options in Australia is examined through a review aimed at determining possible health indicators to be used assessing future land use scenarios. benefits, subsequent economic benefits of walkable, transit orientated are well established measurable. Important include vehicle miles travelled, access transport, green areas, related air pollution levels, noise density mixed use. A comparison high walkability environment low identifies various infrastructure, greenhouse gas emissions costs. From this it determined that infrastructure transport costs dominate, relatively small health-related productivity gains associated with highly walkable areas substantial. This provides heath rationale for developing geared towards active travel.
