The document summarizes a workshop on community transport projects in a growing London. It includes presentations from public health and transport experts on how to create healthier streets that encourage walking and cycling. The speakers discuss London's health issues like obesity and lack of activity, and how street design impacts public health. They describe London's "Healthy Streets" approach, which aims to improve street environments and promote active travel. This includes changes at the street, neighborhood and city-wide levels. The workshop then involved group discussions about improving specific streets to meet healthy streets goals and addressing challenges to implementing changes.

• Life expectancy of Londoners has been increasing but adults are living more of their lives in poor health Health of adults in London today Overweight 6 in 10 adults are overweight or obese. Obesity makes up 85% of the risk of type 2 diabetes. Depression 1,000,000 Londoners have a common mental disorder. Regular physical activity is as effective as antidepressant for treating mild-moderate depression Dementia Now costs UK economy £26bn per year. Burden falls on informal carers. 72,000 in London will increase 2.5x by 2050. Type 2 diabetes By 2035, 4.9 million people will live with diabetes (3.8m in 2015). 5 millions people are currently at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. 10% of NHS budget is spent on diabetes. 28% of adults in London do less than 30 minutes of activity in a week. A quarter of men and a third of women aged over 65 do not leave their house at all on a given day.
• Today’s children are the first generation not expected to live as long as their parents Health of children in London today Overweight 4 in 10 children aged 11 in London are already overweight or obese. London’s children are the fattest in England Depression Teenagers with depression doubled between the 80’s and 2000’s Today’s children are the most restricted in their independent movement and outdoor play Type 2 diabetes 533 children and young people now have Type 2 diabetes despite this being a condition of older age. Lack of independence 8 in 10 children in London do not meet minimum activity levels – 1 hour/day. Walking, cycling and outdoor play are the highest energy- expenditure activities for children.
Street environments & transport are central to the health of Londoners The health impacts of the transport system in London relate mostly to motorised road transport
Mayor’s Vision for Healthy Streets “My vision is to create ‘Healthy Streets’ – which aims to reduce traffic, pollution and noise, create more attractive, accessible and people-friendly streets where everybody can enjoy spending time and being physically active, and ultimately to improve people’s health.” A City for All Londoners (October 2016)
10 Healthy Street outcomes
Why we need the Healthy Streets approach All indicators influence: Health Inequalities Whether people choose to walk & cycle
The Healthy Streets outcomes are interdependent
The virtuous circle delivered by the Healthy Streets approach
The 3 levels of delivering Healthy Streets: Street level How we deliver street level changes will vary by street type Public realm improvements are only one part of it
The 3 levels of delivering Healthy Streets: Network Level Network level • Strategic management of transport networks across London supports significant mode shift and enables street level improvements. • With a comprehensive approach to mode shift, people will switch from car to public transport for long trips and switch from public transport & car to active travel for short trips.
The 3 levels of delivering Healthy Streets: spatial planning Network level Growth areas and regeneration can set ambitious standards for new development The urban form affects how ‘walkable/cycleable’ the environment is and how viable public transport is Top 70% areas amenable to walking and cycling. Growth areas
The importance of behaviour change activities, operations, marketing, communications and enforcement Network level Cycle training for lorry driversKids learning how to use public transport Activation of public spaces Prioritisation in traffic signals Promotional activities
16 The 3 levels of delivering Healthy Streets • Changing the look and feel of streets. • Local measures to activate public spaces and promote behaviour change among communities Street level How we deliver street level changes will vary by street type Network level • The London Plan can support the delivery of Healthy Streets outcomes through policies for regeneration, new developments and growth areas. • Spatial planning can support long term aspirations for environments that are more conducive to active travel – higher density, mixed land-use, low car- dependence. • London-wide policies e.g. ULEZ and campaigns can influence behaviour across the city. • Strategic management of transport networks across London supports significant mode shift and enable street level improvements. • Strategic interventions to change the way our streets are used e.g. targeted on-street policing, management of temporary closures, flexible uses throughout the day to manage demand Network level Pan-London level

• Cycling in Outer London is mostly low, with great potential for improvement. • The programme is not just for cyclists, but for everyone who lives and works in the borough. • The main focus is on replacing short car trips within the borough. • There will be a substantial redesign of the main town centre, to show what is possible when roads and spaces are built around cyclists. • A network of routes linking to all parts of the borough. • Public realm improvements to promote and attract visitors and inward investment. • Cycle hubs at interchanges and residential cycle parking hangars . • Supporting brand to promote and encourage behavior change. What are ‘Mini-Hollands’?
• A network of excellentcycle routes • Lea Bridge Road – a street for everyone • Villages and Town Centres • Complementary measures • Cycle parking Enjoy Waltham Forest vision…
• Mini-Holland bid document • Mini-Holland business case • Engagement strategy • Mini-Holland Design Guide • 2020 Cycling Vision • Robust policies and masterplans • Cycle account Project delivery: our key documentation
Ruckholt Road- a quick win
Walthamstow Village – trial scheme
Framework for delivery
Linking with wider corporate objectives • Housing: 12,000 homes built or underway by 2020 • Business: “Keep, Seed and Grow” 5,400 new businesses • Employment: 26,000 new jobs ensuring local people have
What initiatives work? Working with schools • School travel plans • Community events (e.g. Le Tour de Waltham Forest) • Cycle training Trialling schemes • Walthamstow Village trial Community engagement and involvement • Commonplace – a digital approach • Cargo bike loan scheme Innovative infrastructure • Enhancing and creating new public spaces (e.g. Walthamstow Gyratory)
Lessons learnt Key points • Strategic documents – get them in place, and stick to them! • Comprehensive, continuous and transparent engagement – go digital! • Use the ‘streets for everybody’ message to promote the scheme
