Transport + Health 2025

Transport matters for health. It gives access to amenities, services and employment, and supports social connections. By 2050, 70% of the global population will live in urban areas, exposing a greater number of people to urban-related health risks that will be further exacerbated by climate change.
Changes to transport policies at a national and local level have huge potential to improve the health of the population and reduce health inequalities.

Transport + Health 2025 will showcase best practice across inter-related areas of transport, mobility, health and wellbeing. While transport policies can play a key role in addressing health and wellbeing disparities, such policies cannot effectively address these disparities in isolation. There is increasing recognition of the need to develop a more holistic view of health amongst practitioners, researchers and policy makers.
