Abstract

Activating Change Through InterVentions for Active Travel In Our Neighbourhoods • to investigate ways of “retro-fitting” the design of our cities that will encourage more active modes of travel and reduce car dependence. Two study areas:

  1. Safe and Healthy Streets South Auckland (SAHSSA) - Mangere • the impact of locally co-designed activities aimed at increasing the connectivity of walking and biking infrastructure on residents’ physical activity, social connection and safety
  2. Christchurch • focussed on new higher density city building developments to investigate changes in travel practices associated with moving house to higher density central city living
