What if we designed our cities, and the land-uses, densities & infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just a normal, ordinary, almost “invisible” part of every day life?

It’s actually not that hard. We just have to change our priorities. #HealthyCities

“Compared with non-active travelers, the cyclists had a 19% lower risk of all-cause dementia, a 22% lower risk of Alzheimer's, a 40% lower risk of young-onset dementia (before the age of 65), & a 17% lower risk of late-onset dementia.”

Cycling linked to reduced dementia risk. #HealthyCities
Cycling Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia, Study of Half a Million Finds
Getting from A to B on a bicycle more often could reduce risk of dementia, possibly by protecting a part of the brain tied to memory functions, new research finds.

Citizens once again demonstrating that they want Active Travel, pedestrianised city centres and public transport over the private car. Politicians take note please…. The “noise” does not represent the majority #activetravel #carlightcities #healthycities
A Citizens’ Assembly of Oxfordshire residents has called for “making the city centre car-free”, turning other existing roads over to buses, cyclists and Blue Badge holders, and housing developments with major facilities in walking distance—each topping 85% support. oxfordclarion.uk/citizens-ass...

A powerful reminder of why active mobility matters. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️
Just 30 minutes of walking or cycling a day can boost our health — yet too few people across Europe reach that minimum.
Time to rethink how our cities support daily movement. 💡

👏 Florence, AL just passed a strict 60 dB vehicle noise limit—measured from 6 feet away.

A real move toward public health, not just curbing vanity noise. Other cities, take note!

“A new study found when people moved from less walkable U.S. cities to more walkable ones, they increased their levels of physical activity and saw health benefits.”

The design of cities can help us be healthier. We’ve actually known that for quite a while. #HealthyCities
