#OpenStreets are for the people! @Daniel_Veldaco is one of our collaborators with the Lancet #PlanetaryHealth. Their recent research regards the health benefits of open streets programmes in Latin America: a quantitative health impact assessment doi.org/10.1016/S2542-…

#Lisbon 🇵🇹 measures above average for #sustainable mobility! Our reports indicate the vast majority of neighborhoods are #walkable (99.2%) 👨‍🦯, with residents having access to regular #PublicTransport stops + services (92.8%) 🚊 and public #OpenSpace (~90%) 🏞️ within 500m.

Melanie Lowe is co-director + a researcher from @RMIT in Melbourne, 🇦🇺, investigating how to plan #healthy + #SustainableDevelopment for #UrbanResilience with monitored spatial indicators + informed policy.

@carlhiggs, an esteemed data scientist from @RMIT, is here to deliver #Spatialindicators + #epidemiology concerning the impact of the artificial environment with an Open Access ethos for the #equitable delivery, planning, + development of #healthy, #sustainable + #livablecities.

very funny but sadly true New Yorker cover - reminds me of the cartoon of the person refusing to go to the step class because the elevator was broken! Everyday activity is the answer of course.

The #1000CitiesChallenge calls for cities across the globe! Create Policy + Spatial Indicators with our Open Access Resources, offering maps, figures, and reports to identify #Urban #Inequities when assessing your city's #health + #sustainability.

Density is dynamic! 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️👨‍🦯Our executive committee members @carlhiggs, James F. Sallis, and @DrDeeptiAdlakha have produced a thorough commentary about population density correlating to active leisure + travel, thus influencing greater #walkability + #PublicTransport amenities.

@DrDeeptiAdlakha is a member of our executive committee + a critical investigator within the #1000CitiesChallenge. Her research appraises subjects regarding #sustainable #Urbanization through #GreenSpace to reduce #HealthInequities within our built environment @tudelft @BKTUDelft

In Odense, #Denmark, streets are for the people! Our comparable data shows that #Odense is above average when protecting public open spaces. Here is how to determine the Spatial Indicators for the #health & #sustainability of your city …bal-healthy-liveable-cities.github.io/software/

What is the role of residential density in building a city of 20min neighbourhoods? We found that to provide 800m access to daily destinations, we need at least 25-35 dwellings per hectare (dph) and the cost at 30 dph is almost half of when building at 15 dph. Link in comments
