Public health research shows that many
people will suffer poor health consequences due to physical inactivity but few
will participate in formal exercise programs. This network considers how to
design communities and policies to encourage walking, biking, and other forms of
daily physical activity. This network involves researchers and design
professionals interested in physical activity barriers and supports for a wide
range of individuals. Topics of interest include creating walkable pathways and
destinations, understanding good bike paths, encouraging safe and inviting
public housing green areas, and reducing automobile dependency, among
others.
