🌳 How does urban nature support pedestrian health? Learn more in this open-source article co-authored by Nature and Health co-director, Greg Bratman. Read the article: https://lnkd.in/g8nr7bmm 🚶🏾♀️ Walking and access to nature are two of the most effective health promotion and disease prevention strategies. There has been a growing interest in the dynamic pathways among access to nature, walking, and health. Effective measurement of these variables is the prerequisite to advancing our understanding of such pathways. However, contrasting to the rigorous methods available for walking and health measures, methods to quantify nature have been limited. This study uses a systematic literature review to synthesize urban nature measures (UNMs) used in published studies linking urban nature with pedestrian health outcomes (e.g. walking, physical activity, physical health, mental health). A survey of experts (n = 30) was used to identify additional and emerging methods.

Design is indeed a public health intervention and should also be considered as a public health right.
