Nowadays people all over the world face health problems concerning obesity and lack of exercise, especially children and the elderly. The current lifestyle of Western societies is encouraged and supported by the use of the automobile. The more advantage the transport industry gets the more negative impact it will have on the urban environment and therefore on people’s daily activity. Therefore, urban design and public health have to come together to tackle this problem. By improving the spatial conditions of the urban environment we can provide people with new kind of places where they are stimulated, encouraged and invited to have an active lifestyle and therefore lead a healthier life.
