There has been a growing interest in the effect the physically built environment can have on people’s active behaviors. The fundamental assumption is that surrounding physical environments can support active behaviors among a large number of people with long-term effects. This topic has received much attention over the last decade, mainly in the three fields of urban design, public health, and transportation. This Special Issue aims to provide multidisciplinary and evidence-based state-of-the-art research on how the locations where people live impact their active behaviors and health outcomes.Walkable Neighborhoodsbody massnon-communicable diseasesstep countscyclingmobility managementobeseactive livinghealth outcomesspatial analysisnatural experimentphysical environmentneighbourhoodreviewpolicy evaluationcompact cityIstanbulobesitystreetscape featuressoft mobilityAfricacity planningage-friendly environmentspublic transportsurveyurban healthneighborhoodstreet network configurationquestionnaireDiscovery Toolbuilt environmentelderlywalkable neighborhoodurban designcitizen sciencegeographic variationscalehealth promotionwalkabilityliveabilitywalkingsocial connectednesssedentary behaviouractive travelsedentary behavioroverweightchronic diseasesactive transportwalkable environmentperipheral neighbourhoodstraffic safetyphysical activityolder adultenvironmenturban formpedestrian flowinfrastructureagingdisease mappingAustraliasittingOka Koichiroauth1301163Koohsari Mohammad JavadauthBOOK9910372785203321Walkable Neighborhoods: The Link between Public Health, Urban Design, and Transportation3025745UNINA
