The Great Acceleration: An Environmental History of the Anthropocene since 1945
Earth has entered a new age-the Anthropocene-in which humans are the most powerful influence on global ecology. The accelerating pace of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and population growth has thrust the planet into a massive uncontrolled experiment. The Great Acceleration explains its causes and consequences, highlighting the role of energy systems, climate change, urbanisation, and environmentalism. Human dependence on fossil fuels inau…
Multiple Impacts of the Built Environment on Public Health: Walkable Places and the Exposure to Air Pollution
While considerable attention has been paid to the public-health-related impacts of air pollution, relatively little research has been done to understand how other aspects of the built environment impact health. Americans are increasingly sedentary; erstwhile the rate of increase in obesity is alarming. New research suggests that increased auto dependence, and limited opportunities to walk for utilitarian purposes, has contributed to this emerging…
The Built Environment and Human Activity Patterns: Exploring the Impacts of Urban Form on Public Health
An increasing body of evidence suggests that moderate forms of physical activity (such as walking and bicycling), when engaged in regularly, can have important beneficial effects on public health. This article reviews current public health, planning, and urban design research to determine, first, how walking and bicycling might be critically important exercise behaviors for improving public health, second, how urban form affects the frequency of …
