‘It's just one of those natural progressions': Stories of relocating to neighbourhoods of high and low walkability (2021)
Journal Article
Whybrow, P., Bramley, G., & Brown, C. (2021). ‘It's just one of those natural progressions': Stories of relocating to neighbourhoods of high and low walkability. Health and Place, 69, Article 102509. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.healthplace.2021.102509

Walkable neighbourhood characteristics, such as connectivity and land use mix, have been found to correlate with people walking more and being active. However, the relationship between the built environment and behaviour is highly complex making it d...
