Objective:

  • Disentangle the influences of the built environment from personal activities through a natural experiment, and quantify the impact of walkability on changes in physical activity levels at the individual and population scale

Case:

  • US individuals

Methodology:

  • Walkability

Data Source

  • Azumio Argus smartphone
  • BE

Findings:

  • Relocations to more walkable cities are associated with increases of about 1,100 daily steps, equivalent to 11 minutes more walking activity
