• How built environment affects travel behavior: A comparative analysis of the connections between land use and vehicle miles traveled in US cities (2012, background): “These policies acknowledge that urban transportation produces about 30 percent of the nation’s total carbon emissions (EPA 2006, Ewing et al. 2008; Frumkin 2002) and attempt to mitigate or stop the degradation of environmental quality.”
• The health benefits of urban green spaces: a review of the evidence. (2011, background): “3,4 This has flagged up the need for multi-sectoral action to promote health in urban populations and led to the rise of the ‘Healthy Cities’ movement.”
• In search of causality: a systematic review of the relationship between the built environment and physical activity among adults (2011, background): “Urban sprawl is a major societal problem as it is negatively associated with physical activity and health [4-7].”
• The mental and physical health outcomes of green exercise (2005, background): “The idea that the quality of nature in peoples’ home neighbourhood affects their mental health is not a new one, but it has not greatly affected either the planning of our urban and rural environments or public health priorities (Lindheim and Syme 1983; Frumkin et al. 2004).”

• A Morning Stroll (2007, background): “Issues such as total trip time and effort (accessibility of stations, number of transfers) may be more related to large-scale infrastructure projects and policies that address sprawl and its related effects (Ewing et al., 2003; Frumkin et al., 2004; Muller, 1995).”
