The guide provides examples from nine cities whose leaders realised action must be taken and came up with replicable solutions. This document focuses on designing active cities. The underlying premise that is supported by a substantial base of research, is that an active city is a safer, healthier, more prosperous and environmentally sustainable city.The goal here is to deliver as many of them as possible around the world.
