Abstract
⺠Healthy transportation choices are improved through built environment options that increase density, mix of land uses, accessibility, close proximity to transit, access to public spaces, particularly green space, and the presence of appropriate active transport infrastructure. ⺠Economic value is improved through healthy environments that encourage active transport. ⺠Mental and spiritual health benefits are found through transport and land use planning decisions that create walkability.
