+Learning from Precedents

Economic, social and environmental sustainability is also beneficial for health

Health encompasses a wide range of concepts

Density does not need to be feared A walkable and mixed-use

neighbourhood has physical and social benefits

Increasingly important to promote active transportation

Changes may take a long time to see, unless people really push for it
