Walkability and Public Health Research

Key findings:

A high number of respondents believe pedestrianisation of DVRC would encourage them to walk more. But they don’t understand the concept of “walkability”.
While many of the respondents have suffered respiratory irritations on DVRC, they don’t connect the conditions to road-side pollution in the area.
