Moving to a more walkable city pays off for health, scientists find | CBC News People who moved to a walking friendly city walked more, and at the brisk pace favoured to improve health and prevent disease, a new natural experiment shows.

“Walkable cities allow you to access more amenities on foot for daily life, like going to school or work, buying ingredients for dinner…But that's not available to everyone, given many cities and suburbs in Canada and the U.S. have been designed to emphasize transport by car, urban planners say.”

The design of your city can help make you healthier, study finds A new study in Nature found when people moved from less walkable U.S. cities to more walkable ones, they increased their levels of physical activity and saw health benefits.

Human connection to nature has declined 60% in 200 years, study finds Prof Miles Richardson says people risk ‘extinction of experience’ in the natural world without new policies

I happily admit that I'm much more connected to nature and wildlife around me when I bike for transportation.

Public Transit Does Not Need To Make Money

Just like public schools, libraries, and health clinics, the more people take advantage of public transit, the better off we are as a society.
