New urban models for more sustainable, liveable and healthier cities post covid19; reducing air pollution, noise and heat island effects and increasing green space and physical activity

“…Furthermore, it is important to consider weather conditions such as high temperatures in places like Africa, India and the middle East that may affect the ability for active transportation. In these cases it is particularly important to pay attention to the design and green space components of the new models that can provide shading and cooling for active transportation ( Negev, 2020 , Sun et al, 2021 ) in additional to appropriate and safe infrastructure. Cooler weather tends to be less of a problem as good clothing can provide sufficient protection against the cold but maintenance of the infrastructure is important e.g.…”

A systematic review of COVID-19 transport policies and mitigation strategies around the globe

“…Other studies such as those by Liu et al, 2021 , Maltese et al, 2021 , Marsden and Docherty, 2021 , Mogaji et al, 2022 , Sunio and Mateo-Babiano, 2022 focus on promoting active mobility on low-traffic corridors. Some stimuli for active mobility are heat mitigation by planting trees on active routes ( Sun et al, 2021b ), subsidizing bike sharing ( Combs & Pardo, 2021 ), subsidizing e-bikes, grant 30-minutes free bike -share use, and providing workplace showers ( Nikitas et al, 2021 ). Other authors emphasize: access to education in active mobility ( Bohman et al, 2021 ); the benefits of active mobility in the environment ( Valente et al, 2021 ); and setting incentives for the recreational use of the bicycle ( Mohammad et al, 2021 ).…”
