Walking and Cycling for Healthy Cities
This paper provides a broad overview of the role walking and cycling can play in making our cities healthier.
Cycling to Sustainability in Amsterdam
This article examines how Amsterdam has consistently improved cycling conditions over many decades and succeeded at raising even further the share of trips by bike.
Cycling in New York: Innovative Policies at the Urban Frontier
Cycling safety has improved, with steady or declining numbers of cyclist injuries and fatalities in spite of rapidly rising cycling volumes. Some serious deficiencies remain, however
Walking and Cycling to Health: Recent Evidence from City, State, and International Comparisons
Together with many other studies, our analysis provides evidence of the population-level health benefits of active travel. Policies on transport, land-use, and urban development should be designed to encourage walking and cycling for daily travel.
Infrastructure, Programs and Policies to Increase Bicycling: An International Review
The 14 case studies show that almost all cities adopting comprehensive packages of interventions experienced large increases in the number of bicycle trips and share of people bicycling.

GPS-Based Street-View Greenspace Exposure and Wearable Assessed Physical Activity in a Prospective Cohort of US Women
Background Increasing evidence positively links greenspace and physical activity (PA). However, most studies use measures of greenspace, such as satellite-based vegetation indices around the residence, which fail to capture ground-level views and day-to-day dynamic...
Measuring Induced Travel Elasticities associated with Local Roads from Trip Generation
Induced travel elasticities associated with new road capacity are typically estimated for roads of higher functional classifications, such as interstate freeways and principal arterials. These are estimated as “own” elasticities, that is an increase in lane kilometers...
