Street space reallocation under austerity
Street space reallocation measures, such as Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), have attracted substantial controversy in the UK and elsewhere, for instance around reported poor engagement with residents and local actors. However, limited attention has been given to the political-economic context shaping scheme implementation, such as the impacts of reduced resources or the use of short-term, contingent funding. Based on 37 interviews with officer…
Can mixed-methods help us better understand congestion on Low Traffic Neighbourhood boundary roads
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) aim to improve conditions for walking, wheeling and cycling by restricting motor vehicle movements on residential streets while maintaining access to all addresses. Despite generally positive evidence, LTNs faced backlash, often linked to concerns that motor traffic from inside LTNs is displaced onto surrounding ‘boundary roads’. In this paper, we bring together large-scale sensor data and spatially-transcribed i…
Association of Infrastructure and Route Environment Factors with Cycling Injury Risk at Intersection and Non-Intersection Locations
Typical cycling environments in Britain put cyclists at risk, and infrastructure must be improved, particularly on busy main roads, high streets, and bus routes
Equity in new active travel infrastructure
In this article we examine equity in new active travel infrastructure in London, UK. We focus on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) introduced during Covid-19. These area-based schemes mainly involve ‘modal filters’ that restrict through motor traffic from residential streets within a neighbourhood. Such approaches to traffic management are traditional in the Netherlands, but are relatively novel in London and other global cities such as Barcelona…
Historical Context Changes Pathways of Parental Influence on Reproduction
Several studies have found that parental absences in childhood are associated with individuals' reproductive strategies later in life. However, these associations vary across populations and the reasons for this heterogeneity remain debated. In this paper, we examine the diversity of parental associations in three ways. First, we test whether different kinds of parental availability in childhood and adolescence are associated with women's and men…
Karl Linn and the Foundations of Community Design
This article focuses on landscape architect Karl Linn’s role in founding the Community Design movement. Acknowledged by his contemporaries as one of the first and most influential community designers, Linn used students to pilot techniques for hands-on, local, and empathetic engagement. Beginning in the early 1960s, the article follows Linn’s first experiment building neighborhood “Commons” in North Philadelphia. In Linn’s conception, Commons wer…
Does More Cycling Mean More Diversity in Cycling?
In low-cycling countries, cycling is not evenly distributed across genders and age groups. In the UK, men are twice as likely as women to cycle to work and cycling tends to be dominated by younger adults. By contrast, in higher cycling countries and cities, gender differences are low, absent, or in the opposite direction. Such places also lack the UK's steady decline in cycling among those aged over 35 years. Over the past fifteen years some UK l…
Changing the environment to improve population health
There is renewed optimism regarding the use of natural experimental studies to generate evidence as to the effectiveness of population health interventions. Natural experimental studies capitalise on environmental and policy events that alter exposure to certain social, economic or environmental factors that influence health. Natural experimental studies can be useful for examining the impact of changes to ‘upstream’ determinants, which may not b…
From cradle to grave
BACKGROUND: Ample evidence has shown that early-life social conditions are associated with mortality later in life. However, little attention has been given to the strength of these effects across specific age intervals from birth to old age. In this paper, we study the effect of the family's socioeconomic position and mother's marital status at birth on all-cause mortality at different age intervals in a Swedish cohort of 11 868 individuals foll…
Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in youth
BACKGROUND: Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in youth have been reported to vary by sex, age, weight status and country. However, supporting data are often self-reported and/or do not encompass a wide range of ages or geographical locations. This study aimed to describe objectively-measured physical activity and sedentary time patterns in youth. METHODS: The International Children's Accelerometry Database (ICAD) consists of ActiGraph acc…
Integrating quasi-experimental and inductive designs in evaluation
Evaluations of ‘natural experiments’ in public policy are typically considered ‘weak’ evidence. Challenges include: making credible claims for causal inference (internal validity); generalizing beyond the case (external validity); and providing useful evidence for decision makers. In public health, where experimental evidence is encouraged by funders and enjoys a degree of rhetorical favour, in theory if not practice, current guidance for evaluat…
Social inequality in pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain in the first and second pregnancy among women in Sweden
BACKGROUND: High pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and inappropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) are associated with adverse short and long-term maternal and neonatal outcomes and may act as modifiable risk factors on the path to overweight/obesity, but their social patterning is not well established. This study investigates the association of education with BMI and GWG across two consecutive pregnancies. METHODS: The study includes 163,352 S…
Inequalities in the London bicycle sharing system revisited
New Walking and Cycling Routes and Increased Physical Activity
Objectives. We evaluated the effects of providing new high-quality, traffic-free routes for walking and cycling on overall levels of walking, cycling, and physical activity. Methods. 1796 adult residents in 3 UK municipalities completed postal questionnaires at baseline (2010) and 1-year follow-up (2011), after the construction of the new infrastructure. 1465 adults completed questionnaires at baseline and 2-year follow-up (2012). Transport netwo…
We Can All Just Get on a Bus and Go
This paper uses qualitative data from interviews with 118 young Londoners (age 12-18) to examine how the universal provision of free bus travel has affected young people's independent mobility. Drawing on Sen's capabilities approach, we argue that free bus travel enhanced young Londoners' capabilities to shape their daily mobility, both directly by increasing financial access and indirectly by facilitating the acquisition of the necessary skills,…
PL03 Associations between Birth Characteristics and Eating Disorders Across the Life Course
Background Recent years have seen considerable interest in the developmental origins of eating disorders (ED) but results have been conflicting, perhaps reflecting low power in many studies. Limited power has also prevented robust comparisons of associations with ED subtypes or the use of within-family designs to address the potential for confounding. Methods We used total population data to create a cohort of 2,011,908 males and females, born 19…
OP22 Effectiveness and Equity Impact of Town-Wide Cycling Investment in England
Background In England, six Cycling Demonstration Towns received substantial, town-wide cycling investment from 2005 to 2011, as did 12 Cycling Cities and Towns from 2008 to 2011. The initiatives included a mixture of capital investment (e.g. cycle lanes, cycle parking) and revenue investment (e.g. promotional activities, cycle training). We examined the effects of these investments on the prevalence of cycling, walking and driving to work and whe…
Health impacts of free bus travel for young people
BACKGROUND: We used the introduction of free bus travel for young people in London in 2005 as a natural experiment with which to assess its effects on active travel, car use, road traffic injuries, assaults, and on one measure of social inclusion, total number of trips made. METHODS: A controlled before-after analysis was conducted. We estimated trips by mode and distances travelled in the preintroduction and postintroduction periods using data f…

Effectiveness and equity impacts of town-wide cycling initiatives in England
Cycling confers health and environmental benefits, but few robust studies have evaluated large-scale programmes to promote cycling. In England, recent years have seen substantial, town-wide cycling initiatives in six Cycling Demonstration Towns (funded 2005-2011) and 12 Cycling Cities and Towns (funded 2008-2011). The initiatives involved mixtures of capital investment (e.g. cycle lanes) and revenue investment (e.g. cycle training), tailored to e…
Rethinking passive transport
The factors influencing car use in a cycle-friendly city
Encouraging people out of their cars and into other modes of transport, which has major advantages for health, the environment and urban development, has proved difficult. Greater understanding of the influences that lead people to use the car, particularly for shorter journeys, may help to achieve this. This paper examines the predictors of car use compared with the bicycle to explore how it may be possible to persuade more people to use the bic…
PS02 “We Can all just Get on a bus and Go”
Background Recent years have seen increasing attention to ‘independent mobility’ as a determinant of children’s physical health and psychosocial development. Previous research, however, largely frames independent mobility as a matter of having parental permission to travel without adults. It also predominantly focuses upon walking any cycling trips in the local area by young children. We therefore aimed to extend the independent mobility literatu…
OP35 The Health Impacts of Free Bus Travel for Young People in London
Background Interventions in transport systems have potentially far-reaching impacts on public health, but can be challenging to evaluate. In 2005, young people in London gained access to free bus travel; an intervention that has a number of potential risks and benefits to health. As transport access is linked to well-being, we might expect the policy to benefit the health of young people by reducing transport exclusion. However, health effects mi…

P1-435 Why do British Indian children have an apparent mental health advantage
Background Previous studies document a mental health advantage in British Indian children, the causes of which are unknown. Methods Our subjects were 13 836 White children and 361 Indian children aged 5–16 years in the British Child and Adolescent Mental Health Surveys. Mental health was assessed using the parent, teacher and child Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQs), and multi-informant clinician-rated diagnoses. Multiple child, fam…
