Way to go, Sao Paulo! Our reports indicate that 94% of residents live in neighborhoods with access to public transport stops with regular services. São Paulo proudly represents the incorporation of health-focused actions within metropolitan transport policy.

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

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

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.
