Abstract

This paper draws primarily on a wide-ranging examination of empirical studies on ways in which urban form affects public health, specifically through the ways in which the built environment encourages or discourages physical activity and the use of more sustainable modes of travel. The paper summarises the results of this review and reflects upon the current balance between theory and practice in planning for walking and cycling. Against this background, the second part of the paper provides a brief exposition of the many measures that are being taken in Australia to promote more sustainable travel, and particularly walking and cycling, focusing on measures that have received most attention in the literature. The paper concludes with suggestions for further research. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E210413.
