Funded Activity Summary
Walk-quality: A multi-criteria design platform to facilitate active travel. This seminal cross-disciplinary study aims to combine key ‘walk-quality’ urban design factors: pedestrian accessibility, slope, thermal comfort, pedestrian risk, and pollution, into a design decision platform to enable systematic evaluation of precincts and test ‘what-if’ future scenarios. With 60% of Australians not meeting recommended physical activity targets costing taxpayers billions of dollars annually, the project envisions development of acutely lacking spatio-temporal analysis and design tools to help prioritise urgently needed active transport infrastructure investment. Anticipated ‘walk-quality’ improvements to facilitating active journeys have vital foreseeable community benefits through increased incidental physical activity.Funded Activity Details
