https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5854-2484
Abstract Background The recent diesel scandal has again highlighted the impact that the transport sector can have on public health. Aim To describe the current impact of transport planning on public health. Result Transport is fundamental to our cities' economic and social development, but causes large health effects and impact through accidents, air pollution, noise, green space and lack of physical activity. Conclusion There is an urgent need to rebalance and provide better and safer infrastructures and policy support for transport, and particularly, active transport modes, building a new culture for it. A parallel transition in transport and urban planning is needed to improve, in a global and structural way, the relations between urban mobility and health.
Highlights Transport is associated with a large number of deaths. Transport planning and public health need to work better together. Healthy and environmentally friendly journeys should now become the core goal of transport planning practices.
