Healthy Streets

Healthy Streets refers to an approach that redesigns urban environments to prioritize the well-being of residents by promoting active travel (like walking and cycling), improving air quality, reducing traffic congestion, and increasing access to green spaces. The goal is to create safer, cleaner, and more inviting neighborhoods that support physical activity and social interaction, ultimately enhancing overall public health. This involves thoughtful planning and infrastructure changes, such as wider sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and better crossings, making cities more livable for everyone while reducing the negative impacts of car reliance.
