The study aims to provide an understanding of health cost assessments of different transport modes in urban contexts, and their relevance for transport planning and political decision-making.
There is strong evidence that motorized transportation imposes a high health cost on society, and specifically children. In contrast, active transport is a very significant health benefit. Economic analyses support urban change in favor of compact neighborhoods and public transit, as well as infrastructure exclusively devoted to active transport. Private cars need to be restricted because of the high cost they impose on society.
本研究旨在了解城市环境中不同交通方式的健康成本评估及其对交通规划和政治决策的相关性。
有强有力的证据表明，机动化交通给社会，特别是儿童带来了高昂的健康成本。相比之下，积极的交通方式则带来了巨大的健康益处。经济分析支持城市向紧凑的社区和公共交通转变，以及专门用于积极交通的基础设施。由于私家车给社会带来的高成本，需要对其加以限制。
