This detailed diagram illustrates the multifaceted relationship between car parking and public health. It begins with four parking-related pathways: driving and car dependency, impervious surfaces, housing affordability, and parking design and maintenance. Each of these pathways influences three categories of public-health determinants: environment-related, behavioral, and socioeconomic. These determinants then lead to three major public-health outcomes: morbidity and mortality from non-communicable illnesses (such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases), transportation crashes, and mental-health illnesses (including anxiety, depression, and addiction). The chart highlights how urban planning decisions around parking can significantly affect health at both individual and population levels.

Why care about car parks? Parking lots contribute to air pollution, car crashes, inactivity, social isolation. Worse, they compound inequity. Parking is a public health intervention. #ParkingPolicy #PublicHealth #AirPollution #CarDependency #HealthEquity #CityPlanning

A three-panel comparison of road space use in Canberra: one bus carrying about 60 people, the same number of people with bicycles, and the same number with individual cars filling the entire street. In 2013, the Cycling Promotion Fund recreated a famous visual comparison in Canberra, Australia, highlighting how different modes of transport use urban road space. The three images show the same group of about 60 people: first traveling by bus, then by bicycle, and finally by private car. The bus and bicycles take up relatively little space, while the cars fill the entire width and length of the street, dramatically illustrating the inefficiency of private car use in cities. The photo supports arguments for investing in public transport and bike infrastructure to ease congestion and create more livable urban spaces.

This map shows the Public Transport Accessibility Levels (PTAL) across the Sunshine Coast region. Dark blue areas (scores 0–1a) indicate very low public transport accessibility, covering most inland and hinterland towns. Areas in green, yellow, and orange show better accessibility, mainly clustered around Nambour, Maroochydore, and parts of the coastal strip. The PTAL scores range from 0 (no access) to 6b (very high access), with a legend provided for reference.

This image compares two pyramids. On the left is a familiar food pyramid, structured from bottom to top by recommended consumption levels: vegetables, legumes, grains, and water form the base, followed by fruit, dairy, proteins, and finally sweets and processed foods at the top. On the right is a "mobility pyramid" inspired by the same logic. At the base are active and light-impact travel options—walking, cycling, scootering, along with kayaking and windsailing to add a light-hearted touch. The middle tiers include public and shared transport such as buses, trams, and trains. The top layer features higher-impact modes like cars, boats, and planes. This pyramid is a conversation tool to explore what kinds of mobility we want more of in our area and how we can support healthier, more sustainable ways of getting around.
