Transport plays a significant role in promoting or degrading health, especially in urban populations.

Health impacts of transport have become clearer in recent years and show that transport-related practices and environmental exposures contribute to a substantial (preventable) burden of disease.

Transport design, planning and policy tend to undermine these impacts.

Reasons behind the current state of urban mobility unleash complex questions on how to best tackle current issues.

Cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge transfer will have an important role to play in future health-centric transport practices.
