“…When taking a closer look at land use patterns by land use category, a considerable number of studies consistently show that when land use diversity increases, especially with transit stations, grocery stores, and retail stores in neighborhoods, people tend to rely on non-automobile modes more frequently (Giles-Corti and Donovan, 2003;Handy and Clifton, 2001;McConville et al, 2011;Ortúzar et al, 2000).

Do children walk where they bike? Exploring built environment correlates of children's walking and bicycling
