very funny but sadly true New Yorker cover - reminds me of the cartoon of the person refusing to go to the step class because the elevator was broken! Everyday activity is the answer of course.

Density is dynamic! 🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️👨‍🦯Our executive committee members @carlhiggs, James F. Sallis, and @DrDeeptiAdlakha have produced a thorough commentary about population density correlating to active leisure + travel, thus influencing greater #walkability + #PublicTransport amenities.

[Global Observatory of Healthy & Sustainable Cities @GOHSCities]

@DrDeeptiAdlakha is a member of our executive committee + a critical investigator within the #1000CitiesChallenge. Her research appraises subjects regarding #sustainable #Urbanization through #GreenSpace to reduce #HealthInequities within our built environment @tudelft @BKTUDelft

What is the role of residential density in building a city of 20min neighbourhoods? We found that to provide 800m access to daily destinations, we need at least 25-35 dwellings per hectare (dph) and the cost at 30 dph is almost half of when building at 15 dph.
