Road accidents and air pollution have become a serious threat to our health and impact the way we perceive and use public (road) space. At the same time the benefits of active mobility for human health are still only marginally being recognised in policy-making. 

Jonathon Passmore (WHO) will elaborate the various objectives and provide insight to some of the national government strategies to improve road safety. Gregor Mews (Urban Synergies Group) will link public health to active mobility and outline the implication for planning and "healthy" road and urban design. This will be supported by case studies on local level and exemplary interventions in built environment.
