How the urban environment impacts physical activity
a scoping review of the associations between urban planning and physical activity
This publication supports the findings of the Danish Health Authority’s health promotion package on physical activity, and it presents the evidence on how the urban environment impacts the level of physical activity. The focus is entirely on the urban environment as a structural framework.
The publication presents a summary of national and international research and focuses on three areas: urban design and infrastructure, urban green areas and school settings.
Furthermore, the publication has special focus on two target groups: children & adolescents, and older adults.
