@DavidZipper I helped to frame the 20-minute neighbourhood concept for Plan Melbourne. It's anchored on: a socio-ecological model of population health; a rigorous definition of Liveability; and associated indicator development. See https://t.co/xOMy89x
This paper develops an Urban Liveability Index that includes street connectivity and mixed use, and tests it empirically in Melbourne. Households with highest scores are predicted to walk, bike, and use transit 200-300% more than those with lowest scores.
The Urban Liveability Index: "provides an evidence-informed and policy-relevant measure of urban liveability, that is significantly...associated with adult travel behaviours in the Melbourne context" https://t.co/hVz5Q22ly6 #ijhgeo #sdoh
