Transport planning and policy have a large impact on human health through pollution, noise, heat islands, space allocation, physical activity, social exclusion, greenhouse gases and vehicles crashes. These impacts are generally not well recognized by the urban, transport, environment and health sectors and therefore are not incorporated in transport planning and policy. Advances in Transportation and Health: Tools, Technologies, Policies, and Development provides state of the art knowledge on the many linkages between transport and health, the available and needed tools to estimate and evaluate the health impacts of transport, future technologies and developments that can change the direction and magnitude of the health impacts, and policy and education issues that can result in better practice and knowledge translation. It provides valuable information on why and how to take health into consideration in transport planning and policy, showing how to estimate the impacts of transport on health in planning, policymaking, education and workforce development. Explores the latest advances on the full spectrum of connections between transport and healthOffers a road map of how transport impacts healthIncludes tools for analyzing and estimating health impacts of transportShows what research and practice gaps need attentionIncludes contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and policy makers INDICE: Part 1: Setting 1.
